Customer ServiceBury many copper-coated steel grounding rods at least 6 to 8 feet apart around the solar panel installation. Bury the rods at least 8 feet underground. To ensure a stable ground connection, the rods should extend into permanently wet ground. 2. Connect Panels to Grounding Rods. You can use 10-gage or thicker bare copper wire to connect the grounding lug or bolt on
Customer ServiceDuring a lightning strike, air around the bolt of lightning will temporarily be heated to ridiculous temperatures of around 50,000 degrees F, this is hotter than than the surface of the sun!In addition to this crazy temperatures, lightning is also filled with millions and millions of volts of electricity which can do massive damage to the electrical components of your solar array.
Customer ServiceInstall lightning rod at the topmost point in the location where the solar energy system is installed. 2. The DC connection of the PV system should be kept at a reasonable distance from the metal components on the roof. 3. Ensure AC distribution box and inverter consists of a surge protection device. 4. Make sure down conductors are not rusted

Customer ServiceLightning rods protect you from direct strikes. They provide an alternative, low resistance, direct route to earth so that the lightning is much less likely to go through the solar power system. Obviously - if you install a lightning rod on your roof you
Customer ServiceConnect the straps directly to the grounding rods. To protect your solar system from damage due to power surges from lightning strikes, installing lightning surge protection devices for the solar inverters and other components is critical. 1. Lightning Surge Protectors
Obviously - if you install a lightning rod on your roof you need to avoid shading the solar panels with it. If you want lightning protection - ask your installer to quote it as an extra.
You can use 10-gage or thicker bare copper wire to connect the grounding lug or bolt on each solar panel frame to the grounding rods. Make sure the grounding wires should be as short as possible for the best ground connection. Then connect the wires to the grounding rods using irreversible compression connectors to create a permanent bond.
Install it properly. Properly installed lightning rods will provide you with the best protection for your solar panels. The rods should be connected to a low-resistance grounding system to disperse the electrical charge into the earth. Bury copper or aluminum grounding rods at least 8 to 10 feet deep in the soil near your solar installation. 3.
So, to properly protect your solar panels from lightning damage, you should install specialized lightning protection for solar panels devices. This helps prevent electrical surges that can potentially destroy panels and other system components. 1. Surge Protectors Here we’ll discuss Surge Protectors.
“Lightning rods” are static discharge devices that are placed above buildings and solar-electric arrays, and connected to ground. They are meant to prevent static charge buildup and the surrounding atmosphere’s eventual ionization. They can help prevent a strike and can provide a path for a very high current to ground if a strike does occur.
