It doesn’t really answer how many they are doing per day per week per month it’s just a question still no answer.
However since you run a club about lightning strikes. What are the stats of a house struck next to one with protection? How many house from the 12 houses struck was there a home protected?
How does one know if your rod was struck saving your house?
Our homes on coastal areas, have systems installed, (only 11 out of 800) but no house in the community has been struck. Even though there are great lightning storms as frequently as FL

My guess is these companies install several systems per day.
Out of the 11 homes struck and had fires in the past 12 months, none had a lightning protection system.
Many of the homes hit had neighbors with an LPS. Some across the street and some next door.
We do know of 17 homes that did get struck by lightning and did have a LPS sustained minimal or no damage and none had a fire.
If you have an LPS and your home is hit you would have to either witness the strike or hear the incredibly loud bang. This is why we don't get many reports that fall into this category.
