Solar PV, Wind Plants, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Solar PV, Wind Plants, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

The Challenge

Renewable energy facilities—including solar farms, wind turbines, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)—play a pivotal role in the global transition toward clean and sustainable energy. However, their open, exposed locations make them particularly susceptible to lightning strikes. Such events can cause equipment damage, operational interruptions, and even fire hazards, directly impacting energy output and reliability.

Our Solution

Aegisflash provides comprehensive lightning protection solutions tailored for renewable energy installations, ensuring the safety and continuity of operations. Our services include:

Risk Assessment & Site Survey

Evaluating lightning exposure, site topology, and electrical system vulnerabilities.

Customized System Design

Optimizing placement of air terminals, down conductors, grounding networks, and bonding systems for solar panels, wind turbines, and BESS facilities.

Surge Protection

Installing SPDs and protective devices for inverters, controllers, transformers, and battery systems.

Installation & Commissioning

Certified, standards-compliant implementation aligned with NFPA 780, IEC 62305, and UL 96A.

Testing & Maintenance

Routine inspections, earth resistance measurement, and preventive maintenance to ensure long-term resilience.

Benefits

  • Maximized Energy Production – Reduces downtime and equipment failures caused by lightning.
  • Asset Protection – Shields costly renewable energy components and storage systems.
