Solar Lightning Protection: PV system grounding
For small solar systems, you can implement grounding by inserting a 8-feet long metallic ground rod, made up of conductive material like copper or aluminum, into the earth.After you connect all conductive parts of the system to this rod with
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
