Almost half (49%) of the projects had grounding issues which usually took place at the inverter or equipment pad, between PV array blocks and module rows where short conduit runs were needed, and
Effective Grounding for PV Power Systems
Effective grounding in photovoltaic (PV) systems is the creation of a low-impedance reference to ground at the AC side of the inverter—or group of inverters—that is designed to be compatible with the distribution network''s requirements and existing grounding scheme. For example, is the PV system designed with string inverters—in
