Keep your building safe in every storm
We design and install lightning protection and earthing systems for homes, commercial buildings and solar parks – to EN 62305 and Bulgarian Ordinance No. 4, with testing and test certificates.
- Design + installation
- Test certificates
- Nationwide
What we do
From the first site visit to the test certificate – we take care of the complete lightning protection and earthing installation at your site.
Lightning protection for buildings
Conventional and early streamer emission (ESE) lightning rods for houses, apartment blocks, public and industrial buildings.
Details
Grounding (earthing) systems
Design, installation and repair of earth electrodes for buildings, substations, switchboards and equipment.
Details
Lightning protection and grounding for solar parks
Protection of PV plants and rooftop systems: air terminals, earthing grid, SPDs on the DC and AC side.
Details
Surge protection
Selection and installation of SPDs (Type 1, 2 and 3) in switchboards – for homes, offices and industry.
Details
Testing, certificates and periodic inspections
Testing of earthing and lightning protection systems, acceptance certificates, periodic inspections and maintenance.
Details
Lightning protection and earthing design
Risk assessment, electrical and lightning protection design, approvals and acceptance documentation.
DetailsWhy VM Electric
- 01
Design and installation by one team
We do not separate design from installation. The same people who size the system build it and test it on site.
- 02
Built to the standards
We work to EN 62305 and Bulgarian Ordinance No. 4/2010 on lightning protection. Every installation is handed over with a test certificate.
- 03
Solar expertise
We come from VM Solar – we know photovoltaic installations inside out and we know where lightning current looks for a path.
- 04
Clear quote, no surprises
After the survey you receive an itemised quote: materials, labour, testing and documents. The price does not change during the works.
How it works
Four steps from your enquiry to a finished, documented installation.
- 1
Enquiry and site survey
Write to us via the form or give us a call. We arrange a site visit – free of charge in Sofia and the surrounding region.
- 2
Design and quote
We calculate the risk and the lightning protection class, choose a solution (conventional or early streamer emission) and prepare a quote.
- 3
Installation
We build the air-termination, down-conductor and earth-termination systems using materials from established European manufacturers.
- 4
Testing and handover
We measure the earth electrode resistance and the continuity of the conductors. You receive a test certificate and maintenance guidance.
Standards we work to
Lightning protection is not optional. For most buildings it is mandatory, and the installation has to be inspected periodically. We work to the current requirements:
- Bulgarian Ordinance No. 4 of 22 December 2010 on the lightning protection of buildings, outdoor facilities and open areas
- EN 62305, Parts 1–4 – protection against lightning (risk assessment, physical damage, electrical systems)
- EN 61643-11 – surge protective devices (SPDs) connected to low-voltage power systems
- HD 60364 – low-voltage electrical installations, earthing and protective conductors
Part of the VM Solar family
VM Electric is the electrical division of VM Solar – the company that designs and builds turnkey photovoltaic systems. If you have or are planning a solar installation, we can protect it as a whole.
