The household photovoltaic system is generally installed on the roof of the house, and its metal surface area is large, the distance from the ground is high, and the position is prominent, so it is easy to become the target of lightning attack in thunderstorm weather. If there is no reliable lightning protection grounding after the completion of the power station construction, the probability of being struck by lightning will become extremely high, and it will even cause the danger of electricity consumption and the occurrence of fire, resulting in unnecessary personal and property losses.
Therefore, in order to improve the effectiveness of lightning protection for household systems, in addition to meeting the requirements of conventional lightning protection measures, the following points need to be considered:
1) If the system has a large capacity or is located in a high-incidence area of lightning strikes, it is necessary to add a lightning rod beside the phalanx to improve the lightning protection level of the system;
2) There are other metal facilities on the roof, the DC circuit should be kept as far away as possible, the photovoltaic support should not be in contact with it, and it is recommended to add a lightning rod on the roof;
3) The serial loop area of the system should be as small as possible to reduce the intensity of induction lightning;
4) It is recommended to make a separate lightning protection network for the photovoltaic system to prevent lightning from invading the photovoltaic system through the building lightning protection network.
