The lightning protection of photovoltaic installations is of great importance, in order to warrant the uninterrupted operation of the system and avoid faults and damages of the equipment. Atmospheric discharges influence the proper operation of the photovoltaic generators and their installation, involving also sensitive electronic equipment.
With all the barriers discussed in Section 3.3, the need for lightning protection on PV systems must be evaluated on the basis of the risk analysis and protection costs. Table 10 presents the recommended standards related to PV systems including PV installations, lightning protection systems and electrical installations. Table 10.
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.
The problem becomes more serious for the industry, as the number of photovoltaic power plants increases. These common practices aim to present the practical techniques commonly used by project managers and installers to set up lightning protection.
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.
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) .
