Will photovoltaic panels be struck by lightning Zhihu
Lightning strikes can damage solar panels directly or indirectly. Surge protection devices like Citel DS72-RS-120 are recommended. When lightning damage does occur, it accounts for 32% of weather-related solar panel incidents, making proper protection a valuable investment. . Lightning is a common cause of failures in photovoltaic (PV) and wind-electric systems. It can melt the panel glass and other components, the increased electrical load would fry inverter components and even circuit breakers in an electrical panel. The first major reason is that many PV systems are poorly grounded and poorly protected. All photos courtesy of NOAA unless otherwise noted.Read More Download PDF
