The Protective Angle Method is a practical and widely accepted approach for designing lightning protection systems, particularly for simple structures and rooftop installations like solar panels.
This includes surge protection devices (SPDs), effective grounding systems, isolation and shielding of sensitive components, and real-time lightning monitoring systems.
The recommended approach is to use a separate DC grounding electrodefor PV arrays and frames,as this enhances protection against lightning and transient voltage. For lightning protection associated with grounding systems,refer to NFPA 780 and NEC 250.
