Solar Panel And Emp

You can also get 50 kv m protection by getting any type of panels you like and use our military grade suppressors along with the emp hardened sol ark.

Solar panel and emp.

The bad news is they re usually connected to wires with current flowing through them which makes them susceptible to damage. However the larger the solar array is the more likely that there will be damage to the supporting equipment including the wiring charge controller and inverter. A solar panel itself may be inherently resistant to emp to some extent. Emp hardened solar panels up to 150 kv m paired with emp hardened sol ark systems.

Most solar panels can survive emps caused by natural phenomenon like lightning within a close range. If you have a bigger home and have bigger energy demands it will cost even more. They might have a slight reduction in output after being subject to an emp maybe about 5. The internal working anatomy of many solar panels contains and depends on diodes to control the flow of current harnessed from the sun.

The good news is solar panels in and of themselves contain very little electronics that could be affected by an emp. Solar panels generally depend on electronic components and micro circuits though not huge or highly integrated. If there was an electromagnetic pulse would you know how to protect your solar panels from an emp. Depending on the strength of the electromagnetic pulse emp most solar panels would likely not be affected.

Please call for the panel brand being used today. We use the latest technology of monocrystalline panels to harden and use with our tested emp hardened systems. If lightning strikes within about 500 feet your panels will be fine although the wiring and circuitry connected to them will often be destroyed. The vulnerability of solar panels to an emp wave therefore depends on their internal structure.

But if damage occurs it is likely due to the wires between the solar panel and most often the solar charge controller.
