Solar Arrays and Lightning Protection

So lightning protection is a two part process. First make sure there is a lightning arresting system completely separate from the PV system designed to attract lightning strikes and shunt them to ground. This is where the short, fat, and straight part comes in for all those conductors. The rest of lightning protection is about shunting that

6 FAQs about [Rooftop solar lightning protection test report]

Does a PV rooftop have a lightning surge test?

There is no circuit model or test for the PV Rooftop system dedicated to lightning surge studies, especially in aspects of SPD placement, selection of suitable ratings, cable length, and sizing, and number of SPDs required. Direct strikes may trigger fires and even explosions to the PV Rooftop installation.

Do rooftop photovoltaic systems need a lightning protection system?

This guideline also requires that LPL III and thus a lightning protection system accord-ing to class of LPS III be installed for rooftop PV systems (> 10 kWp) and that surge protection measures be taken. As a general rule, rooftop photovoltaic systems must not interfere with the existing lightning pro-tection measures.

Can Lightning affect a roof top PV system?

It has been shown that for buildings with roof top PV systems only the avoidance of lightning attachment to unprotected parts of the building is not sufficient. Lightning currents passing through the lightning protection system may still affect the PV power system through inductive coupling.

Why is a sensitivity analysis necessary in a rooftop PV system?

A sensitivity analysis is necessary for the development of lightning overvoltage in a Rooftop PV system, bearing in mind the impact of lightning striking spot, the lightning current ampli-tude, the building height, the soil resistivity and the distance between the solar arrays and the external protection system.

Can a PV rooftop system withstand lightning strikes in Malaysia?

The PV Rooftop system is commonly located in high-rise buildings which makes it very prone to lightning strikes .As far as Malaysia is concerned, no standards exist on lightning protection for PV systems, except for MS 1837:2010 which focuses on the PV installation.

Does a light-Ning protection system meet DIN 62305-3 requirements?

Section 4.5 (Risk Management) of Supplement 5 of the German DIN EN 62305-3 standard describes that a light-ning protection system designed for class of LPS III (LPL III) meets the usual requirements for PV systems.
