This is the humor section.I noticed Tim laughing at this post
Missed That !This is the humor section.
It definitely is.It may not be the humor section.
Capacitive coupling of AC from the inverter. And it hurts. Not humor.How does the frame have any power on it?

All metal surfaces you can touch should be "grounded", meaning that there is an Equipment Grounding Conductor (EGC) from the main panel, to every metal device, including the inverter case (there should be a grounding screw), and the PV panel frames and mounting.So we are earth grounding solar panels that has no power going to them but were not earth grounding your inverter inside the house???? Im not trying to be humorous with this. I'm being serious. I'm fairly new.
@timselectric can give you the specific code on ground rods, it's something like two within 10' with 4 AWG bare wire (but don't quote me).But also in the NEC, doesn't it say that you should only have one ground rod in your service system? If you have have one at your telephone meter pole, why do you need one at the house?
Did I not understand will in that video saying not to earth ground the inverter?
You did not.Did I not understand will in that video saying not to earth ground the inverter?
The inverters are also grounded - all metal cases - including the PV frames connect together to ground.So we are earth grounding solar panels that has no power going to them but were not earth grounding your inverter inside the house????
