Depending on your lightning rat of incidence would determine what would work
best. I have used Heary Brothers in NY for almost 20 years now check their
website out.
They have a device that is called an "early stream emission device" that
comes with a lifetime $10 million guarantee policy that you will not take a
direct strike. This does not cover surge protection just direct strikes. I
have clients at 10,000 ft el that have been in their house with multiple
strikes radiating around the house many times and never in 18 years take a
strike. The MCG surge systems prevented anything coming in to the house.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Integrating with Lightning Protection
Wrenches,
Does anyone have any best practice recommendations (or books, articles, etc)
for integrating a roof mounted PV system with a lightning protection system?
Bare #6 copper and a split bolt to the braided copper connecting air
terminals? At both ends of the array?
Or should we not bond these systems on the roof? Opinions on a 2009
Wrenches thread varied, but I've heard it from a few sources that these
should be bonded directly. Wondering if there is a general consensus at
this point? Or strong opinions one way or the other?
Thanks for your thoughts.
