[RE-wrenches] PV and EMP

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

Depends on how close and how strong the pulse or strike is. In Mil 
satellites, the same thing. You can harden but are dreaming if you think 
your electronics can really survive it. Even harder to protect 
electronics that are powered on. The KH series spy sats I saw schematics 
for had redundant systems that were off or rotated I seem to remember. 
This was back in the 90's so very sketchy in the fog of time.

For Offgrid, and High Rel power systems, a faraday cage for your 
inverter and CC is a must if you are in high lightning zone. A top of a 
mountain is often really hard on a house or Telcom. One place I have 
blows SPD's yearly.
