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.
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 ?
Unless, of course, you happen to have taken the jab and now have graphene oxide in your veins, then even a tin foil had won't save you.
“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.”
The conductors of the power grid do not in any meaningful way couple to geomagnetic field variations.
What happens is that the variations penetrate deep into the earth, inducing currents which can make the ground potential between two geographically distant substations to vary significantly. This causes currents to flow between them and if the currents flow through a transformer, it can under certain conditions destroy it.
That’s how a solar storm impacts the power grid (or pipelines....or...)
So that would include whole home backup generators?
