Due to their exposed installation sites and large collection areas, photovoltaic (PV) installations are at a high risk of damage due to both direct and indirect lightning strikes. The subsequent damage from these surges can cause serious damage to PV installations, expensive inverters and the building electrical system.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand the 43p tariff was unsustainable. But, how come I thought that from the outset and yet DECC’s experts didn’t? From my point of view it is the rate of change that is shocking. The FiT is/was too high, but only a fool would fail to see that slashing it in one fell swoop was going to cause panic in a young industry.
Besides the existing program of gPV string and main fuses, DC & AC Surge-Trap Surge Protective Devices (SPDs), DC switches and junction boxes, Mersen has launched a brand-new solution : PV string monitoring.
National Grid’s Electricity Alliance Central (EAC), a consortium of ABB, Morgan Sindall and Atkins, has been awarded a five-year contract extension to deliver major enhancements to the UK’s electrical transmission infrastructure.
