TerraStreamer

Protect Large Facilities from Lightning Damage

Mega News for Mega Structures How does it work? The TerraStreamer® ESE lightning terminal is a proactive, externally mounted structural lightning protection device. It is designed to activate itself directly before lightning strikes by emitting electromagnetic impulses [...]

One Stop Shop for All your Solar Protection Needs

Solar farms are wide-open unobstructed areas of conductive material. It’s no surprise that they are highly susceptible to lightning strikes. Direct strikes may be relatively rare, depending upon a facility’s size and location, so most damage is usually sustained [...]

Not Just a Franklin Rod

Lightning rods are also known as an air terminal, lightning conductor, finial, and strike termination device provides a conductive path to ground. Charge dissipation terminal -- or charge redistribution terminal -- uses point discharge to reduce static charge [...]

Protect Solar Farms from Lightning Strikes

Solar farms are just big fields covered with conductive material. They’re almost asking for a lightning strike, which can damage or destroy solar panels, inverters, and other critical equipment. So it’s no surprise that lightning activity and surge-related over-voltage [...]

Lightning Strike Threats on Solar Arrays

ALLTEC's engineering manager Jim Grasty discusses the threat of lightning strikes on solar arrays and the surprising state of lightning protection at solar farms. Direct and indirect lightning strikes damage on solar arrays can vary from explosive destruction to [...]
