6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic bracket and lightning protection connection]
How can a PV system protect against lightning?
The paper recommends modifying the system performance against lightning by the proper cable arrangement, using PV systems with a metal frame, using the efficient grounding system with low resistance, and keeping an appropriate distance between the external LPS and the PV system.
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 does Lightning affect a PV system?
After studying the influences of lightning strikes on the PV system and modeling methods, it is mandatory to design a protection system for the PV system during lightning. The lightning protection system (LPS) is used to protect the PV system from damage and service interruption.
Are PV systems vulnerable to lightning?
Similar to other power systems [ , , , , ], PV systems are vulnerable to lightning because they are always installed in unsheltered open areas. Recent studies on lightning protection of PV systems have drawn much attentions [ 9 ].
Are residential PV systems a lightning target?
Residential PV systems are generally installed on the rooftop of residential buildings, with a large metal surface area, higher distance from the ground and an exposed location. Such PV systems are therefore potential lightning targets during thunderstorms.
How to protect PV system in case of indirect lightning?
A proposed design of SPD to protect the PV system in case of indirect lightning was explained [ 40 ], where the designed hardware was type 2 SPD. This type consists of varistor, Zener diode, common mode choke, transient voltage suppresser (TVS), and gate discharge tube (GDT).
