To protect solar panels from direct lightning strikes, rod or catenary wire lightning rods are used. These provide the necessary protection zone. The type of protection is determined based on economic considerations, as solar panels are not the most expensive components of the system.
The protection of the PVS from lightning is carried out on the same principle as any other object. To begin with, it is necessary to determine to which class of lightning protection the object, on which the photomodules are installed, belongs.
If the antenna is installed on the top of telecommunication tower, e.g., antenna positions 1 of Figure 29, it is considered to be impacted by or exposed to direct lightning strikes. Refer to [IEC 62305-3] for detail information about the protection angles and volume protected by an air termination system.
The earthing network of an RBS should be formed by a ring loop surrounding the tower, equipment room and fence, at a minimum. The mean radius re of this ring loop should be not less than l1, as indicated in Figure 1 and this value depends on the lightning protection system (LPS) class and on the soil resistivity.
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
Install lightning rods, grounding, surge protectors, shielding, and follow standards for effective communication station protection.
