Protection<br />

<strong>for</strong>...<br />

tion system to ensure its <strong>protection</strong><br />

against a direct lightning<br />

strike. By using suitable air-termination<br />

<strong>systems</strong>, like air-termination<br />

rods, <strong>for</strong> example, direct lightning<br />

strikes into the <strong>PV</strong> modules<br />

can be prevented. The necessary<br />

air-termination rods possibly to be<br />

installed additionally, must be<br />

arranged to prevent a direct strike<br />

into the <strong>PV</strong> module within their<br />

<strong>protection</strong> zone <strong>and</strong>, secondly, any<br />

casting of a shadow on the modules.<br />

It has to be considered that a separation<br />

distance s must be kept<br />

between the <strong>PV</strong> components <strong>and</strong><br />

metal parts like lightning <strong>protection</strong><br />

<strong>systems</strong>, rain gutters, skylights,<br />

<strong>solar</strong> cells or antenna <strong>systems</strong><br />

in compliance with IEC<br />

62305-3 (EN 62305-3). The separation<br />

distance has to be calculated<br />

according to IEC 62305-3 (EN<br />

62305-3)3. The <strong>PV</strong> system shown in<br />

Figure <strong>9.18</strong>.1.7 is located in the<br />

protective area of the external<br />

lightning <strong>protection</strong> system. Figure<br />
