<p class="MsoNormal">I can see that point, but does that really effect insurance
payout? It seems like one could argue that a properly installed system with
proper grounding inspected by a building official has a lot more clout than and
little grey cylinder next to the inverter or disconnect.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Please all wrenches, correct me if I'm wrong but I can't
remember a single time when there was a post about an actual lightning strike
and a lightning arrestor actually doing its job - meaning that an arrestor took
a hit and protected the array and or inverter. I've heard plenty of
stories about blown lightning arrestors and good equipment but no one seems to
know what caused the situation. It might be that lightning is hard to track and
I agree with that. And lightning might have been the cause. It would be
great to track lightning-fried installations to see what happened and what
could be fixed. If lightning arrestors are the solution then by all means we
should install them. Most of the time I think that proper grounding is the solution
although I wish that field experience would prove the point. </p>

install one in most systems for the simple reason of insurance.<br>
If there is lightning damage, the insurance company can't use that as a way to
not pay any claims.<br>

> I guess my thought is a little off topic, but are lightning arrestors even
worth using at all? My logic has always been that if lightning does indeed
strike that it's likely going to blow the arrestor and and inverter. We don't
have much of a lightning issue issue in the Bay Area so I don't have any direct
experience.<br>
