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.

Backwoods Solar sells kits to harden against EMP. I am wondering how
effective they would be.

I would review Sol Arks website as they say they are immune. Probably
have something to back that up published there.

Aloha all,
Have any of you come across any articles or white papers on how PV
systems (including energy storage) fare under conditions of
electromagnetic pulses and solar flares?
Mahalo,
marco
