Recommended Practice document for the electrical design of photovoltaic systems. As part of that project, the National Institute of Standards and Technology is contributing the lightning, surge protection, and grounding recommendations for these systems, based on known characteristicst of surge protective devices and on field experience.
Proper grounding of a photovoltaic (PV) power system is critical to ensuring the safety of the public during the installation’s decades-long life. Although all components of a PV system may not be fully functional for this period of time, the basic PV module can produce potentially dangerous currents and voltages for the life of the system.
With all the barriers discussed in Section 3.3, the need for lightning protection on PV systems must be evaluated on the basis of the risk analysis and protection costs. Table 10 presents the recommended standards related to PV systems including PV installations, lightning protection systems and electrical installations. Table 10.
