Surge protection prevents damage
Photovoltaic (PV) facilities for exploiting renewable energy
are at great risk from lightning discharges because of their
exposed location and large surface area.
Damage to individual segments or the failure of the entire
installation can be the consequence.
Lightning currents and surge voltages often cause damage
to inverters and photovoltaic modules. These damages mean
more expense for the operator of the photovoltaic facility.
Not only are there higher repair costs but the productivity
of the facility is also signicantly reduced. Therefore, a
photovoltaic facility should always be integrated into the
existing lightning protection and grounding strategy.
To avoid these outages, the lightning and surge protection
strategies in use must interact with one another. We provide
you with the support you need, so that your facility functions
smoothly and delivers its expected yield!
That‘s why you should safeguard your photovoltaic
installation with lighting and overvoltage protection from
Weidmüller:
• To protect your building and PV installation
• To increase system availability
• To safeguard your investment
