Due to the large-scale installation of photovoltaic (PV) plants in open areas, PV plants is exposed to lightning strike at a high risk. The influence of PV support on lightning
Lightning rods are often installed near PV bracket. To avoid the shadow, the rod of PV array cannot be too high and its height is set to be 3 m. The distance between the rod and PV array
Solar photovoltaic bracket is a special bracket designed for placing, installing and fixing solar panels in solar photovoltaic power generation systems. The general materials are aluminum
PV bracket system is typically constructed by a series of tilted, vertical and horizontal conductor branches as shown in Figure 1.During a lightning stroke, the lightning current will inject into
The transient overvoltage caused by the mode of air-termination rod and lightning strike point are investigated. Due to the large-scale installation of photovoltaic (PV) plants in
The installation of the DAT CONTROLER® REMOTE lightning conductor must be carried out in accordance with the UNE 21186 standard: "Lightning protection: Lightning arresters with Early Streamer Emission
It is also recommended to install a lightning rod on the roof. 3) Reduce the general PV system cabling cross-area to decrease the strength of an induced lightning strike. brackets, inverters
In order to protect PV system against lightning strike, air-termination rods are often installed close to the support to capture the downward leader. The rods can be classified
The estimated cost of installation was a key comparison to select the lightning protection system; the total installation cost of the Franklin lightning rod type was USD 197,363.80 and the ESE

Consequently, they are frequently subjected to lightning strikes, which may cause damage to PV arrays, service interruption, and additional cost for PV replacement. Therefore, an adequate lightning protection system (LPS) must be installed to protect the PV panels.
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.
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.
