Dave, 

 You are absolutely correct!  The highest DC energy is collected on an 
isolated capacity just out of strike range!  Just one strike will 
instantly and completely discharge the collector. (hot bolt)   However, 
DC charge can be collected as far a way as 30 feet probably more even 
from a 25 watt system.
