We use these polyphaser lightning arrestors on all our solar array installs.

we have several lightning prevention devices we use that are ALSO rated for EMP
at least it says so on the box
blah blah up to xxx joules of surge at xxx nanosecond clamp time
they are really not all that expensive considering how much the arrays and inverters cost

On C-SPAN, June 21 2005, I saw a fascinating account on how a terrorist
nuclear attack can disable/destroy all our electronic devices:
computers,PDAs, cellular phones, TVs, TIVOs, pagers, even many cars,
trucks and RVs. All of these devices dead, made inoperable,useless, so
many doorstops and paperweights created by a terrorist nuclear
bomb/missile's ElectroMagnetic Pulse (EMP). EMP can disable electronics
as far away as 3700 miles. Roscoe Bartlett's presentation on C-SPAN
showed that such an attack can disable the american economy for a long
time, set it back at least a hendred (100) years and create millions of
casualties.
Since the damage can be so great and so widespread, we are ALL in it
together. The banks WILL be affected. The consumers WILL be affected.
The buainesses' operations WILL be disrupted. If customers can't get
money out of the banks, they WON'T be able to buy your product or
service. Let me stress it again: we are ALL in this together. You WON'T
be able to get on the Internet (assuming that all your electronics
haven't been destroyed first) UNLESS your ISP can itself get on the
Internet.
Yet, there is hope in the form of defensive measures. Enter these words
in the Google search box :"shielded rooms" or "EMP" or "NEMP" or
"Faraday cages" or "anechoic chamber".
I have NO business interests in the companies mentioned.

well, gee, if the terorist haven't thought of doing this yet, this all ought
to give them a leg up.
