Lightning protection systems (LPS) provide a protective zone to assure against direct strikes to PV systems by utilizing basic principles of air terminals, down conductors, equipotential
Therefore, an adequate lightning protection system (LPS) must be installed to protect the PV panels. In addition, the transient performance of PV panels during lightning strikes must be analyzed well. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the superior modeling methods of PV systems during lightning strikes.
The necessities of lightning protection on the PV systems and its barrier, the need for different lightning protection system on PV systems as well as its recommended practices are also discussed in this paper.
After studying the influences of lightning strikes on the PV system and modeling methods, it is mandatory to design a protection system for the PV system during lightning. The lightning protection system (LPS) is used to protect the PV system from damage and service interruption.
The performance of the LPS of grid-connected PV systems was evaluated with the focus on achieving the optimal design of LPS to protect the system from direct lightning strikes . Moreover, the surge potentials under the effect of separation distance, soil structure, and grounding systems were analyzed.

This Commission department is responsible for the EU''s energy policy: secure, sustainable, and competitively priced energy for Europe.
The renewable energy directive is the legal framework for the development of renewable energy across all sectors of the EU economy, and supports cooperation across EU countries.
In 2024, the EU output of photovoltaic electricity accounted for 11% of the EU''s gross electricity output, according to Ember. Continued growth in the solar energy sector is expected in the coming decades,
Building with external lightning protection system and suficient separation distance s (situation B) Figure 13 shows the surge protection concept for a PV sys-tem with external lightning
The targets have evolved consistently since first established to help the EU reach its ambitious energy and climate goals.
In 2023, the solar photovoltaic sector in the EU and globally saw the prices of the panels plummet from ca. 0.20 EUR/W to less than 0.12 EUR/W. This unsustainable situation is weakening
Therefore,an adequate lightning protection system(LPS) must be installed to protect the PV panels. In addition,the transient performance of PV panels during lightning strikes must be analyzed well. This
Consequently,effective lightning protection is indispensablefor PV systems. Lightning transient evaluation of a PV system has been a necessary task in designing effective LPS. Such evaluation
