Lightning Surge Suppression
PV systems are usually installed in open fields or on rooftops -- places where lighting can strike. Lightning
causes drastic voltage spikes in solar panels, which may damage equipment. While LeadSolar Energy
Microinverters have built-in surge protection, this may not always protect all equipment from the energy spike
caused by lighting. Additional surge protection devices are strongly suggested.
Additional surge protection devices are strongly recommended to fully protect
your system.
