Surge Protection Solutions for Photovoltaic Systems

Raycap Products Provide the Ultimate Lightning Surge Protection for Photovoltaic Systems The remote locations, exposed surface areas and extensive layouts of solar power plants put them at high risk of damage from the elements, particularly electrical storms. A significant concern for photovoltaic (PV) power plant operators is equipment damage caused by direct or indirect lightning strikes. Damage from these events can bring a PV installation offline for days or perhaps weeks, resulting in power interruption and revenue losses. To avoid the destructive effects of lightning strikes, overvoltage...
