Research, as described in a recent review on the performance of lightning protection on photovoltaic systems (roof mounted or solar farms) has just started due to high penetration on the power distribution grids . In , the impact of a standard impulse lightning strike on the performance of single PV modules is evaluated.
Therefore, an adequate lightning protection system (LPS) must be installed to protect the PV panels. In addition, the transient performance of PV panels during lightning strikes must be analyzed well. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the superior modeling methods of PV systems during lightning strikes.
The amplitude and the steepness of the lightning current, the characteristics of the LPS, the soil resistivity of the installation area and the geometrical and electrical characteristics of the grounding system are critical factors that influence the lightning protection of the PVs.
All this kind of destruction will undoubtedly affect the economic aspects or the return on investment that could be earned from PV power generation as well as the cost of repair or replacement to recover from the damage, all of which can be mitigated by implementing a lightning protection system (LPS) .
The lightning protection of photovoltaic installations is of great importance, in order to warrant the uninterrupted operation of the system and avoid faults and damages of the equipment.

The Lightning bed is going to be about the size of a normal solar panel 5.5ft x 3.25ft... which can *ideally* do ~400W. If the cab is blocking any sun, it''s less. If the sun is at an angle (which it would be most of the day), it''s less. In Florida, on my system''s best days, I get about 6 kWh of energy for each 1 kW of panels. So, for a 0.4 kW panel, that''s laid flat, I would …
