And solar energy, the leader among renewables, is no exception. A solar farm&#8217;s design, implementation and maintenance pose operational and financial challenges that start from the first phase and extend throughout its useful life. On the one hand, if a good project is not carried out before construction, the operation of the energy installation can be compromised. On the other hand, if assets are not protected against any eventuality, such as a thunderstorm, the cost of repairs can drive up costs and slow the return on investment.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The future of energy generation is inextricably linked to renewables and that\u2019s a fact beyond dispute. The increase in sustainability criteria in both the public and private spheres and the need to accelerate the decarbonisation &#8211; a reduced dependence on fossil fuels &#8211; of industry and society are essential instruments for the energy transition to generate fewer emissions into the atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photovoltaics is also the type of sustainable energy that grows the most every year, even in the domestic sphere, through the installation of solar panels on private properties that encourage the self-consumption of electricity. With investment in solar parks on the rise, planning in detail the initial investment and the costs derived from maintenance and safety are two fundamental aspects so the return on investment -ROI- is met within the planned timeframe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irena.org\/Data\/View-data-by-topic\/Finance-and-Investment\/Investment-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Some data<\/a>. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), investment in renewable energies has increased almost fourfold in 10 years, from 171 to 439 billion euros. Of this last figure, 298 billion US dollars (298 billion European dollars) corresponds to investment in solar energy, twice as much as the second most widely deployed technology, wind energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-58705 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/at3w.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GRAFICO_SOLAR_EN.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"872\" height=\"736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/at3w.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GRAFICO_SOLAR_EN.png 872w, https:\/\/at3w.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GRAFICO_SOLAR_EN-300x253.png 300w, https:\/\/at3w.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GRAFICO_SOLAR_EN-768x648.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 872px) 100vw, 872px\" \/><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solar_energy_challenges_for_the_operation_of_photovoltaic_parks\"><\/span><b>Solar energy: challenges for the operation of photovoltaic parks<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to their unique characteristics of location and size (large open spaces) and the economic outlay on sensitive technology, solar parks face several challenges in the quest for optimal operation; challenges that must be addressed even at the earliest stages of their design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not conducting a proper study of the ground characteristics or ignoring them altogether before implementing the grounding system will harm its operation and efficiency. In addition to the resistivity values of the ground, a proper grounding system with durable connections will have a positive impact on the lifespan of the energy installation and all components connected to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of maintaining assets, solar panels and other electronic components that are vulnerable to voltage surges, whether caused by atmospheric phenomena (electrical storms) or by a malfunction of the electrical installation, as well as possible acts of vandalism or sabotage, must be taken into account in both the design and operation phases. Continuous monitoring of the installation, therefore, helps to prevent any of these eventualities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not least, the people who work in the daily operation of a solar farm must be protected against circumstances such as a fire caused by lightning or a short circuit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Operation_of_a_solar_farm_smart_solutions_for_its_entire_life_cycle\"><\/span><b>Operation of a solar farm: smart solutions for its entire life cycle<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The strength of the R&amp;D department and the commitment to sustainability are two basic pillars of Aplicaciones Tecnol\u00f3gicas S.A.

If lightning strikes a solar panel directly, it can cause significant damage to the panel, overload the electrical system and damage expensive electronic components such as charge controllers and inverters. On the other hand, an indirect strike can cause an overvoltage to affect these components as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, any lightning strike can cause a temperature rise on the surface of the solar panel, which could result in cracks or breaks in both the glass and the solar cells.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Aplicaciones Tecnol\u00f3gicas S.A<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&#8217;s <\/span><b>SMART LIGHTNING <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">portfolio of intelligent lightning storm safety products for solar farms works in all phases: preventive protection (storm detection), external protection against lightning strikes and internal protection against surges.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/at3w-mk.com\/atstorm\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>ATSTORM\u00ae <\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is an advanced thunderstorm early warning system designed to activate and deactivate temporary preventive measures to minimise the risks associated with potential lightning strikes.
