Solar Panel Lightning Arrestors

The delta silicon arrestor has no series resistor.

Solar panel lightning arrestors.

For most mid size and larger systems we recommend the midnite solar surge arrestors or the outback power types. Midnite solar solar surge protection device 115v. Delta la603g ac lightning arrestor three phase 5 wire with ground delta lightning arrestors la603g della 603g delta la603g ac lightning arrestor three phase 5 wire with ground 68 75. It may seem a bit high to spend over 200 on surge arrestors but the typical repair bill for large sine wave inverter that has been lightning hit can run well over 1000.

Lightning arrestors lightning and static discharge can cause big headaches for the solar owner as it can damage sensitive equipment like charge controls and inverters. Be sure to use the appropriate arrestors for your application. Surge arrester protects the installation from inside while lightning arrester protects the equipment from outside. The delta silicon arrestor needs no spark gap since it conducts at the ionization potential.

Many system installers routinely use delta surge arrestors which are inexpensive and offer some protection where the threat of lightning is moderate but these units are no longer ul listed. Lightning and related static discharge is the number one cause of sudden unexpected failures in pv systems lightning does not have to strike directly to cause damage to sensitive electronic equipment such as inverters controls radios and entertainment equipment it can be miles away and invisible and still induce high voltage surges in wiring especially in long lines.

Surge arrester installed inside the panel board while lightning arrester are installed outside. Main differences between surge arrester and lightning arrester. Lightning arrestors lightning arrestors help prevent surge and lightning damage. Backwoods solar offers lightning arresters to protect your solar panels micro hydro wind turbines for homes.

Protect your solar electric system from near lightning strikes with a solar lightning arrestor often installed either in a combiner box dc load center or grid tie inverter. Surge arrester protects the system from lightning switching electrical faults and other transients voltage and surges while lightning arrester are mainly used for lightning strikes and associated surges.
