Emp And Solar Panels

Solar panels generally depend on electronic components and micro circuits though not huge or highly integrated.

Emp and solar panels.

If lightning strikes within about 500 feet your panels will be fine although the wiring and circuitry connected to them will often be destroyed. The vulnerability of solar panels to an emp wave therefore depends on their internal structure. Most solar panels can survive emps caused by natural phenomenon like lightning within a close range. Emp hardened solar panels up to 150 kv m paired with emp hardened sol ark systems we use the latest technology of monocrystalline panels to harden and use with our tested emp hardened systems.

The internal working anatomy of many solar panels contains and depends on diodes to control the flow of current harnessed from the sun. 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. The solar panels themselves should be fine. You can expect a similar situation after a nuclear emp.
