Solar Photovoltaic Lightning Protection Principle

The purpose of lightning protection is NOT to stop the lightning from striking. You can''t do that. Lightning protection controls the PATH of the lightning after it hits. Like it or not, that is about the best you can do. It''s not lightning that causes the damage, it''s lightning going through places you don''t want it to.
