Lightning and Surge Suppression in Residential Systems
Lightning causes intensive induced voltage and can be extremely harmful to a solar power plant. Particularly, due to the exposure to the open sky, Photo-Voltaic (PV) panels are highly susceptible to lightning that can damage the panels, DC lines, inverters and other equipment in the plant. To reduce this effect using a properly designed lightning …
Photovoltaic power plants are gaining in popularity and availability every year, resulting in a massive increase in their number and size.
