I have an MPPT 75/15 controller. Last night we had an electrical storm with frequent lightening. Each time there was lightening, even though not close, the system would shut off for about a second and then turn back on. The lightening strikes were not nearby, and perhaps cloud to cloud. Why would that happen? The system worked OK between the lightening events and is working OK today.
Its more than likely a EMP effect would be my guess
I would think that EMP is the best explanation since there was no direct strike near the equipment. I would like to know if other folks have witnessed the same phenomenon. Also, is there any way to protect against these EMP effects?
