Reddit, that was your only problem, going on there for anything that requires an IQ over 12 is not a great idea.
That said, I love all the ideas on here, especially the TVS and capacitors. I have only heavily grounded my system, two 2/0 copper grounds on the solar array, #4 wire between each panel, and a 2/0 at home. The idea of adding a TVS, MOV and capacitor bank on the negative and positive lines to ground them if they got a high voltage spike is an interesting idea, wish I had thought of it. I have never worked with TVS before so will have to look into those.
Hedges, I wish I had as much knowledge as you do... I can follow you but I don't have that deep of an understanding of the components!
Also, my electronics (for the solar) are all inside a motorhome with an aluminum frame and I added a full cover of 1/4" hardware cloth around the whole frame then grounded it with a 2/0. Hopefully that is a good enough faraday cage
