Insulated or isolated lightning protection systems ensure that no partial lightning currents flow into the system. This prevents any interaction with potentially explosive atmospheres. Isolated lightning protection systems and air-termination systems from DEHN are installed at a distance from installations using an insulator.
External lightning protection involves using lightning rods, down conductors, and grounding networks to safely direct lightning energy away from structures. Internal protection strategies include surge protection devices, shielding, and transient voltage suppression to safeguard sensitive equipment.

As it is described in [4,19], PV modules are more vulnerable to direct lightning strikes than conventional low-voltage power distribution systems, due to installation on roofs, facades of buildings, and, in general, on unsheltered areas.
Before the occurrence of lightning, the energy storage system and electric vehicles in the charging station will be charged, and the power supply capacity of the charging station will be estimated to match the corresponding number of important loads.
As it is mentioned in, direct lightning strikes on photovoltaic panels or on the external lightning protection system (LPS) may lead to insulation break- down, grounding potential rise, and panel and/or inverter destruction (melting).
The amplitude and the steepness of the lightning current, the characteristics of the LPS, the soil resistivity of the installation area and the geometrical and electrical characteristics of the grounding system are critical factors that influence the lightning protection of the PVs.
