How to network with Photovoltaic SPDs for System safety

PV installations are defenseless when we talk about aftermath of lightning currents occur in a stormy weather. The caliber of any PV installation is defined by the efficiency to which the solar panels can withstand against the potential impact of lightning discharges. Solar Panels and the related solar components are the expensive creation of technology and in case of repeated lightning events; the PV systems cannot undergo repair or any kind of replacement again & again. To deal with the case we have Solar Surge Protection Devices that are cascaded in conjunction with the well-influenced Lightning Protection Systems. Solar SPDs are directly involved with our Photovoltaic electrical systems to provide a discharge path to the surges or over-voltages that can damage our equipment and structure. There is wholesome probability that within a blink of eye an appliance can suffer damage due to fault current generated because of switching or lightning surges, if Surge Protector is not pr
