Eastern European solar container communication station wind and solar complementary lightning protection grounding

4 FAQs about Eastern European solar container communication station wind and solar complementary lightning protection grounding

What is a solar panel earthing system?

Earthing System Earthing is a fundamental and important component within a lightning protection system, especially to safeguard a solar panel farm. Generally, we cannot avoid surge propagation into the solar panel power circuits, but we can control the magnitude of the surge and effectively give it a direct path into the ground.

How can we ensure Europe's energy system resilience?

New energy-specific rules are coming, including a cybersecurity code for the electricity sector and national strategies covering renewables. To ensure Europe's energy system resilience, it is critical Governments apply cybersecurity and data protection as pre-qualification criteria in wind energy auctions and public procurement strategies.

How can the European solar sector accelerate the transition to a smart energy system?

To accelerate the transition to a smart, digitised renewables-based energy system, the European solar sector has issued strong recommendations to EU policymakers and regulators to address cybersecurity risks associated with its technology in an increasingly digital energy system.

Why is Europe rethinking its energy security strategy?

Europe is rethinking its security strategy. That includes energy security. It is now building more domestic renewables to make its energy supply more resilient. But it also needs to improve the physical protection of existing and planned energy generation assets. Physical and cyberattacks on critical energy infrastructure are on the rise.
