To protect solar inverters from lightning damage, install appropriate Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) 1 on both AC and DC sides of the system. Select SPDs with voltage ratings matching your system's maximum voltage, and ensure they're properly grounded.
For standard PV power stations, grounding resistance should be below 4 ohms; for large-scale PV power stations or areas with frequent lightning, it should be below 1 ohm.
Why the best practice was used: This document provides consistent criteria for applying lightning protection design, installation, maintenance and inspection into safety programs against the NFPA and DOE requirements.
Directive (AFPD) 32-10, Installations and Facilities. It assigns responsibilities battery storage systems require lightning protection? A: Yes, due to their sensitivity and the risks would be an extraordinary challenge,Kirtley explains. It would stem could fail before the energy.
Some insurers require documented lightning protection measures for outdoor electrical installations, including home EV charging stations, as a condition of coverage.
