    A great way to bring a lightning strike right into the electronics if they are in the container. You will save on SPD's also :)
    Keep the solar (any antenna or phone)  away from the electronics as much as possible. Anything coming in needs a disco!
    In my humble opinion....

    I worry about that some times being next to a 14000 but with grid power in a net around me they have a better chance of a hit than me. I do have a 50' antenna that is been sitting until I isolate the grounding and put it 100yards away with a 50' disconnect cable

    And speaking of lightning and electronics, I was a slot tech at a casino here in colorado and happend to take a smoke break as lightning hit a substation 1/2 block away in a clean line of sight the hit knoched me off my feet, was able to watch on camera afterwords. It was a bad day.
