The earth is the most ubiquitous conductive surface, and so it was assumed in the very beginnings of electrical transmission and distribution systems as a nearly universal standard for all electric systems. As the construction of the solar power plants has been initiated by the power developers in India since 2011[1]. The safety parameters of the equipment and manpower have become the most prominent issue for all against lightning strokes. Conventional earthing always played a vital role in avoiding all hazardous incidents. This paper theoretically analyzes the resistance value for the earth pits with the respective techniques which adequately meet with the earth resistance benchmark as per the international standards followed by the world. The Early Streamer Emission Lightning Arrestor (ESELA) is the most recognizable technique for the earthing system, which protects structures such as Inverter Rooms, Control Rooms, Module Mounting Structures or any other installed equipment from damage by intercepting flashes of lightning and transmitting their current to the ground.
