Lightning and surge protection for solar panels

The guaranteed 20-year service life of photovoltaic generators and their exposed installation sites, as well as sensitive inverter electronics, require effective lightning and surge protection.

Not only are homeowners installing solar panels on their rooftops, private companies are also making more and more investments in overall systems that are being installed on large rooftops, various control structures, or unused outdoor areas. Due to the large space requirements for a photovoltaic generator, solar panels are particularly threatened by lightning discharges during thunderstorms.

Surges in solar panels are caused by inductive or capacitive voltages resulting from lightning strikes, as well as lightning strikes and switching operations in the upstream power system. Lightning strikes on solar panels can damage PV modules and inverters. This can have serious consequences for the operation of the system. Firstly, the high repair costs of, for example, an inverter have a negative impact, and secondly, a system failure can lead to a significant reduction in the profit of the plant operator.
