6 FAQs about [Protection of solar power generation system]

Does lightning protection work on solar panels?

Research, as described in a recent review on the performance of lightning protection on photovoltaic systems (roof mounted or solar farms) has just started due to high penetration on the power distribution grids . In , the impact of a standard impulse lightning strike on the performance of single PV modules is evaluated.

How to protect solar power plants from lightning?

The work recommended the mesh-type air termination instead of vertical rods to reduce mechanical damage and avoid the shadow effect. To assess the external lightning protection and the earthing systems design in the large-scale solar power plants, the methods and models were also presented [ 38 ].

How will a lightning protection system affect PV power generation?

All this kind of destruction will undoubtedly affect the economic aspects or the return on investment that could be earned from PV power generation as well as the cost of repair or replacement to recover from the damage, all of which can be mitigated by implementing a lightning protection system (LPS) .

Does a lightning protection system work on a grid-connected photovoltaic park?

In this paper, the performance of a lightning protection system (LPS) on a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) park is studied by simulating different scenarios with the use of an appropriate software tool.

How to protect against lightning overvoltages?

The accurate analysis of lightning transients helps in selecting an effective and economic protection system. Moreover, the metal oxide surge arrester and the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) were used to mitigate the lightning overvoltages [ 118 ].

Do PV panels need a lightning protection system?

Consequently, they are frequently subjected to lightning strikes, which may cause damage to PV arrays, service interruption, and additional cost for PV replacement. Therefore, an adequate lightning protection system (LPS) must be installed to protect the PV panels.
