[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 1170415, member: 18"] I would say the old approach in datacenters used to be a generator on a shaft driven by an electric motor and a local mass/earth that is isolated from a near strike by means of a resistive ladder approach linked to a faraday cage and IT earth topology is perhaps the most effective decoupling approach I've heard of, but the cost and complexity won't be worth it for a home. On some of the PV projects I have seen sub 1 Ohm earths on the opposite end of the installation to make the panel frames earth equipotential but every sparky will have some variation on what they think is best.
