Question: Impact of EMP on Solar PV
#10
I've never seen individual bypass diodes on each cell as the diagram shows, they're certainly not present on the little cells I've taken apart but they might have been too cheap to include them. If they're on the big PV panels I have they're well hidden.

Certainly if your solar is connected to an inverter and the grid it's very vulnerable.
The first rule for surviving EMP is to disconnect yourself from the mains grid.
This is one of the reasons I prefer to run my PV system as a standalone 12V supply rather than hook it up to the grid through an inverter.
