Is there any potential damage to solar pv panels from this ?
Do we disconnect them at any time ?
Do we put a tarp over everything ?
Do we take them off the roof and put them underground for 24 hours ?

Is the Strom big enough to wipe out stories of the Arizona Audit?

A coronal hole high speed stream, known as CH HSS for short, is due to hit the Earth by midday on the 26th. Maybe it will kill the Coronavirus.

Most certainly.

A June 2013 study by Lloyd’s of London and Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER) in the U.S. showed that if the Carrington event happened in modern times, damages in the U.S. could exceed $2.6 trillion, roughly 15% of the nation’s annual GDP.So not as bad as electing Biden, then.

There is never a direct danger to solar panels from a solar storm. Nor any other electronics that are isolated from the gird.
In fact the only thing that is under any threat is the power grid and anything plugged into it. So a converter hooked to the power grid is in danger if the event is very big and a large power surge is backfed into it.
You need very long conductors in order to be effected by the magnetic field. Hence the power grid is pretty much the only thing in danger.

Solar wind is always flowing from the Sun and towards Earth but coronal holes are known for releasing enhanced solar wind. Coronal holes can develop anywhere on the sun and are more common during solar minimum. I do believe they got this backward.

I suppose that theoretically the surge could go through the power inverter and damage the solar panels. Just turn off the grid tie breaker if worried about it.

At the mercy of so many things politically it’s nice to view our place in a higher order. Thx
Very cool (hot) website. . Bookmarking for my daily web surf of what the beings on Erf have coming their way...
Usually watch the sun and asteroids on
https://www.spaceweather.com/
But your site looks better for the sun
Also like usgs for earthquakes ..... you know ... getting a fuller picture.

Unlike sunspots, coronal holes are only visible in the ultraviolet and don’t determine solar minimum or maximum. They are, however, more likely to happen on the sun’s equator during solar minimum which affects earth to a greater degree.

Well got 5 inverters tied to the grid 24/7.
Easy to kill them overnight as nothing flowing then.
Hate to lose an entire day of production by being paranoid.
Would like to know time-of-day that the risk is highest.
We already know the steepest angle to the sun is the hours around solar noon. Where I am that is about 1:30 pm local time.
Has any reports emerged as to the UTC times they expect the most radiation ?
