A fast-growing sector facing new weather-related challenges
The renewable energy sector, particularly wind and solar, faces growing exposure to extreme weather events such as lightning and thunderstorms.
Due to their location in open areas or high elevations, wind turbines and solar panels are often the tallest points in their environment, making them prime targets for direct lightning strikes.
According to DNV, lightning damage is the leading cause of unplanned downtime for wind turbines. These incidents are also the most common reason for insurance claims filed by renewable asset owners.
Beyond equipment damage, these events can also endanger on-site teams and impact production reliability, making lightning risk management a key priority across the entire project lifecycle, from design and construction to operation, maintenance, and repowering.
Understanding your needs
As a manufacturer, developer, or operator, you require reliable and actionable lightning data to support every stage of your renewable energy projects. This includes designing and sizing protection systems accurately, ensuring the safety of your teams, optimizing energy production, inspecting equipment after potential strikes, demonstrating lightning incidents to insurers, and adapting operations in real time.
By combining high-precision lightning data with services, we support informed decision-making across all project phases, from design and construction to operation, maintenance, and repowering. Our goal is to make lightning risk a manageable factor, keeping teams safe and infrastructures resilient.
