Why should we install the lightning protection device?

When lightning strikes a building or solar system, it creates a huge current. The goal of a lightning protection grounding system is to safely direct these currents underground, thereby protecting buildings and equipment from damage caused by lightning strikes.
How to connect lightning protection device?

Bury the ground electrode 2-5 meters underground, connect the metal parts of the solar panels, inverters and other equipment to the grounding system on the ground, and connect it to the ground electrode angle steel through a common ground point to prevent lightning strikes. when guiding current to the ground. This helps protect solar off-grid systems from overvoltage and damage caused by lightning strikes.

For a small-scale off-grid solar system like a 30 kW solar system, here are some common lightning protection devices and components:
Lightning rods: Lightning rods are devices used to absorb and redirect lightning strikes. When installing a solar system, you can consider installing a lightning rod near the system to attract and protect it from lightning strikes.
Surge arresters: Surge arresters are devices used to protect electrical equipment from overvoltage and lightning surges. In a solar system, you can install surge arresters to disperse and absorb lightning surges, protecting the solar panels and other equipment.
Lightning protection grounding system: The grounding system is essential for diverting electrical currents into the ground, reducing the risk of lightning strikes. Ensure that the grounding system of the solar system complies with relevant building and electrical codes and ensures a good grounding connection.
Lightning conductors: Lightning conductors are used to guide lightning strikes underground, away from the solar system and buildings. These conductors are typically made of conductive materials and are installed on the roof or near the building.

Surge protectors: Surge protectors are used to prevent damage to electrical equipment caused by overvoltage. In a solar system, you can install surge protectors to withstand overvoltage caused by lightning strikes.
Grounding wires and grounding rods: Grounding wires are used to connect the metal components of the solar system to the grounding system, diverting the current into the ground. Grounding rods provide a reliable grounding point to ensure a good grounding connection.
Please note that these are some common lightning protection devices and components, and the actual installation needs to be assessed and designed based on specific circumstances. It is recommended to consult with a professional electrical engineer or solar system installer before installing the solar system to ensure proper lightning protection.
