Was it the one connected to Raspberry Pi? I am thinking a pulse came from your internet modem (cable/dsl) and went into your electrical ground via your RPi > USB > inverter path. Check inverter USB interface board for visual damage. It might also coupled into 12V system via RPi and could be the reason Gowise inverter glitched.One the tp6048's display messed up and now just shows error 32
The pi is connected to a wifi extender. So its wireless from the houses internet to a wifi extender in the workshop.Was it the one connected to Raspberry Pi?

Camera rolling shutter would do that.The more I watch the second video it looks like there is actual arcing behind the work bench and then light from the window above the work bench of the outside strike.
... but it's impossible to completely eliminate it.
The mainframe computers I installed and maintained always had a motor generator on them .... we wouldn't install them any other way ...... It wasn't in a faraday cage ...... at some point, it is less expensive to repair than try to further protect.A "Star" topology to ground would be best, all electrical equipment chassis tied to each other with shielded cables forming no loops, and a single connection to earth ground. Any other interconnecting data being optical, to avoid forming a loop. Wires to PV array also shielded, and NOT tied to a ground rod at array (conflicts with safety codes.)
Surge protection in various places, especially PV+/PV-/chassis.
PV array, which forms a loop, scrambled in such a way to be a twisted pair, no net loop. But near field coupling will hit it with uneven field strength, so not perfect.
PV array spins a motor, mechanically coupled to a generator on other side of faraday cage through shaft rotating in mercury.
If we can make this thing strategically hard, it shouldn't have any trouble surviving a measly lightning strike.

At the array, only protects the array.I'm thinking one of these at the panels themselves :
One thing I'm curious about its listed as 300v dc but shows mcov of 470v. So its 470v max?
I would actually be putting one of these at each of the 4 different array sites I have.
