Both Solar and Wind farms will require both Lightning Protection and Earthing Systems.
With sites often in remote locations, where repairs and maintenance can be expensive, investment in protection systems is critical
We use a selection of methods to provide a low resistance earth, including earth rods, mats or plates, soil conditioning agents, deep drilled bore-holes – the selection will depend on the particular requirements for the substation and the soil resistivity of the ground.
Lightning Protection can be by tall masts or catenary wires, or by the provision of surge protection equipment – or both.
