Regulations on lightning protection for solar container communication station inverters

4 FAQs about Regulations on lightning protection for solar container communication station inverters

Can a PV system be installed on a building with a lightning protection system?

If the PV system is installed on a building with an existing lightning protection system, the PV system must also be properly included in the lightning protection system. The inverters are classified as having Type III (class D) protection (limited protection).

Does a PV inverter have overvoltage protection?

The inverter is manufactured with internal overvoltage protection on the AC and DC (PV) sides. If the PV system is installed on a building with an existing lightning protection system, the PV system must also be properly included in the lightning protection system.

Are surge protection devices required in a building without a lightning protection system?

In a building without an external lightning protection system, surge protection devices (SPDs) are required in three areas: Even in the presence of a lightning protection system, SPDs may be required as well unless a risk analysis demonstrates that this is not necessary.

Can lightning strike a photovoltaic system?

By their very nature, photovoltaic (PV) arrays are generally constructed in large, open, and unobstructed locations. If lightning occurrences are present in those locations, the system may be highly susceptible to a lightning strike.
