Lightning Arrestors? [RE-wrenches]

[August Goers]

All -

One of Darryl Thayer's recent posts brought up a question for me regarding
lightning arrestors. 

Does anyone have field experience with lightning arrestors actually working
and saving any part of a system? How many of you folks out there have seen
what lightning actually does to a system with or without a lightning
arrestor?

I've always been under the impression that the only way to properly
lightning protect a system is to setup a heavy duty grounding electrode
system consisting of a supplementary ground electrode located close to the
PV array.
