Lightning protection for

            solar parks




            To ensure investment protection and the availability of solar
            parks, the risk of damage posed by a lightning strike must
            be calculated according to IEC/EN 62305-2. The results must
            be taken into account for planning and are used for due
            diligence considerations.                                            operation

            Internationally active insurance companies often require
            equipotential bonding and surge protection in their contract
            terms. The aim is to protect power plants from lightning-in-
            duced damage as well as modules, inverters and monitoring
            systems from the effects of an electromagnetic pulse.
