Yes. Some level lightning protection is provided in the form of transient voltage protection on both the PV and battery connections in all Solar Boost charge controllers. If you live in an area prone to lightning you should add additional lightning protection devices. Keep in mind that even with additional lightning protection nothing is 100% lightning proof. Damage due lightning is not covered under warranty.
