Inverters are the core of solar setups thus, protecting them from potential surges due to lightning is very important Lightning can lead to electrical surges that can damage inverters and other components in a solar power system. Lightning strikes don’t need to be direct to cause issues; even strikes nearby can generate significant electrical surges. Without appropriate precautions, these surges can interrupt power, damage sensitive equipment, and reduce the lifespan of your inverter.
.Here at the Green Energy Corner, we are happy to partner with you to protect your system from lightning using a multi-layered approach. Here’s a closer look at effective methods to enhance lightning protection:
- Install a Proper Earthing System
Earthing provides a safe path for excess electrical current caused by lightning to discharge into the ground rather than damaging your inverter. By grounding the system, you create a controlled pathway for electrical surges, reducing the chance of damage.
At Nexgen Energy , we understand the importance of effective earthing, and we offer expert earthing services as part of our solar system installations. We ensure that each inverter is properly earthed, thus reducing the risk of surge damage and enhancing the overall safety of your system.
- Invest in Surge Protection Devices (SPDs)
Surge protection devices (SPDs) are another effective measure for controlling the effects of electrical surges. SPDs can divert excess voltage away from sensitive components in your inverter, protecting them from the high voltage associated with a lightning strike. Installing SPDs at key points in the system can greatly reduce the impact of surges on your equipment.
- Regular System Maintenance and Checks
Regular maintenance and inspections play a vital role in ensuring your system is prepared to withstand storms. By routinely checking the condition of your earthing system, surge protectors, and other protective devices, you can catch potential issues before they compromise your inverter.
