If a lightning bolt hits the solar panels or the inverter itself, the sheer force of the electrical energy can fry the delicate electronic components inside the inverter. The high - voltage surge can cause short - circuits, burn out transistors, and damage other vital. . Lightning strikes can pose a significant threat to photovoltaic (PV) systems, leading to severe damage and costly repairs. A direct strike can overwhelm your inverter, causing it to fail and interrupting your power supply. Indirect lightning strikes, which are more common, can result in. . No definitive answer exists to whether or not lightning damage solar inverters. This unexpected natural phenomenon not only disrupted power supply but also raised concerns about the resilience of our power infrastructure.
