What's different about solar farm surge protection vs. a standard building?

DC-side SPDs need to handle the specific voltage and current characteristics of PV strings â standard AC SPDs aren't a substitute. LPES sizes DC SPDs specifically for combiner box and inverter locations.

Is substation earth resistance alone sufficient for safety compliance?

No â IEEE 80 evaluates step and touch voltage directly from fault current and grid design, not just a resistance reading. Two substations with identical resistance can have very different safety profiles.

Does EV charging infrastructure need separate surge protection from the building's main system?

Yes â EV chargers are exposed at both the grid connection and DC output sides; dedicated SPD sizing protects the charger electronics specifically.

Lightning Protection for Energy & Power

Thermal plants, solar farms, wind installations, substations and EV infrastructure each have distinct lightning and grounding risk profiles. LPES designs to IEEE 80 for substation grounding and IEC 62305 for generation-site lightning protection.
