Protection from solar flares and coronal mass ejections

Given that a ship is a torus embedded in the plane of a vast solar panel arrangement in a sun facing orbit around Mercury, is there any means by which to protect the ship's systems from coronal mass ejections and solar flares? The ship runs on solar panels spanning a radius of 2.3 km as there is very energy intensive processing occurring on base and shutting down systems for the duration of such events, especially due to coronal mass ejections which may happen every 2-3 days or max every week, is not feasible. Also even after shutting down systems a method by which to protect the solar panels is needed. Any method by which to 'earth' our ship or to deflect the incoming magnetic field lines and radiation is appreciated. Thanks!
