4 FAQs about The latest standards for energy storage lightning protection for solar container communication stations

What is a lightning protection system?

A lightning protection system not only protects the solar PV system but also provides reliable protection to your entire property and assets while safely diverting transient currents to the ground.

Do energy storage systems need application-specific protection?

As demand for electricity becomes ever greater, the need to store energy (as well as produce it) also does. Like all electrical installations, energy storage systems need application-specific protection. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are now a mature technology.

Do you need a lightning protection system?

If you want to protect your investment, surge protection is not an option, it is a necessity, but if you want total protection and peace of mind, a lightning protection system can make the difference between the success and failure of large-scale solar power installations.

How to protect high-end electronics in storage containers?

In addition, battery storage for the power grid forms the basis for energy management (so-called “peak shaving”). In order to provide optimum protection for the high-end electronics in storage containers, one needs a comprehensive lightning and surge protection system.
