Isolated Lightning Protection for Solar Plant

Solar power plants need isolated lightning protection because they are often located in exposed areas. In isolated lightning protection, the air terminal is mounted on a mast of a certain height to provide appropriate elevation as per the design and is placed away from the solar panel/panels to be protected. Solar lightning arrestors are typically installed on the roofs of buildings to provide a path for lightning strikes to be grounded. A lightning arrester kit includes a high-voltage terminal...

Losses in Solar PV Power Generation

There are different types of losses in the solar modules/solar solution that impact the power generation by the solar panel. PV system losses have a considerable impact on a plant’s realized power output and overall efficiency. In this article, we will understand each of them individually.

Effect of temperature coefficient of a PV module

The temperature coefficient of a photovoltaic (PV) module affects the power output of the module, and is an important factor in system design and stability
