There are plenty of misleading claims about EMP effects and protection to both extremes:
1) Everything electronic will die = you need nested faraday cages (not true)
2) All nuclear power plants will go “Fukishima” (not true, they were all EMP hardened back in 1984).
3) Simple lightning arrestors will save your solar. example https://ironedison.com/midnite-solar-lightning-arrestor (not true)
Cyberattack, Solar Flare, and EMP would all destroy the Grid and most appliances plugged in.
Here is a video showing EMP testing of solar panels, inverters, and other appliances. See Solar EMP testing here. https://youtu.be/ZbHK6Uqmzog
In addition to us (www.PortableSolarLLC.com), both military and non-military EMP labs have tested “protected” solar panels and systems.
Nuke plants were hardened against EMP in 1984? Can you provide proof of that? My research shows otherwise.
Only U.S. nuclear plants were hardened. I worked with nuclear Engineers that helped design power plants.
Can you cite any evidence, verifiable by independent sources, that this was done? The reason I ask, is, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has received repeated petitions for rulemaking (among the latest, PRM-50-96) requesting EMP hardening of nuclear power plants (see: https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1107/ML110750145.pdf) The earlier petitions were denied.
I will ask. I believe only critical cooling sections are hardened.
The panels themsleves aren’t likely to be a problem but they usually go through modern electronics (MPPT) to the batteries and outputs. Those have the microcontrollers just like cell phones. Some are in metal like a faraday cage, but some are in plastic boxes.
The panels are likely to survive, but you might want to keep a spare charge controller in a faraday cage.
In this video, we explain here how solar panels that are hooked up will NOT survive (unless military methods of EMP protection are used).
