What is the difference between an active lightning rod and a regular one?

An active lightning rod has early streamer emission technology, which allows it to intercept lightning discharge more efficiently and protect a larger area.

Is this model suitable for a residential house?

Yes, it is perfectly suitable for private houses, villas, farmsteads, and facilities with solar power systems.

Is grounding required?

Yes, the lightning rod must be installed together with a professionally installed grounding system.

Can it be used in aggressive environments?

Yes, the stainless steel construction is resistant to corrosion and suitable for demanding climatic conditions.
