Emp Proofing Solar Panels

Sol ark all in one solar generator system power through whatever happens where to buy add batteries and or panels to a sol ark for any of these applications.

Emp proofing solar panels.

The problem is that the solar charge controller used to charge the batteries and the voltage inverter that converts the battery power to 120 volts ac will probably be destroyed by the emp. Your home s solar panels after an emp. What is an emp. How are solar power systems affected.

Would solar panels survive an emp attack. That surge creates. An emp or electro magnetic pulse generates a surge of charged particles. If there was an electromagnetic pulse would you know how to protect your solar panels from an emp.

Today s electric power grid is extremely vulnerable to a variety of potentially crippling events some natural and some man made. Sol ark solar inverters are emp hardened meaning they re specifically designed to withstand all the disruptions of an emp whether it comes from a nuclear weapon or the sun. Depending on the strength of the electromagnetic pulse emp most solar panels would likely not be affected. Most solar panels can survive emps caused by natural phenomenon like lightning within a close range.

You can expect a similar situation after a nuclear emp. But solar panels will survive and emp if you take the right precautions. So unless the owner of the solar system has the foresight to store spare parts in a faraday cage their working solar panels won t do them much good. 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.

Over 8 months of testing was needed to test the solar flare emp hardening design to assure it would hold up when needed. A severe solar storm an emp attack with a high altitude detonation of a nuclear warhead or even simple computer hacking could cripple the grid perhaps for days and in several scenarios decades. If lightning strikes within about 500 feet your panels will be fine although the wiring and circuitry connected to them will often be destroyed. Our emp hardening is modeled after military designs that protect the system solar panels and your appliances while in use.
