Photovoltaic power generation is another renewable clean energy besides wind power generation, and is widely used in various countries and regions. It has the characteristics of simple installation, scalability, stability, and long life. Lightning strikes and surges are also a major disaster for photovoltaic power generation systems. Prosurge provides a comprehensive and efficient lightning protection solution for photovoltaic power generation systems.
PV installation with an external LPS when the separation distances is maintained (excluding multi-earthed solar systems, such as PV power plants)
Class II/T2 PV SPD is suggested to used at DC side of invertor
PV installation with an external LPS when the separation distances is maintained (excluding multi-earthed solar systems, such as PV power plants)
Class II/T2 PV SPD is suggested to used at DC side of invertor
PV installation with an external LPS where the separation distances can not be maintained (including multi-earthed systems, such as PV power plants)
Class I/T1 PV SPD is suggested to used at DC side of invertor
A PV SPD should be installed as close as possible to the equipoment protected (e.g. invertor). If the length of the wiring between this SPD and the PV generator (distance E, see Figure 5) is greater than 10 m, it is needed to protect the PV generator with a complementary SPD nearby.
The total length of connecting cables (L1+L2) of SPD installation shall be as short as possible (preferably not exceeding 0,5 m for the total lead length).
