You speak truth sir… even the experts can’t seem to come to a workable plan on the grounding topics… I too plan on just disconnecting major items when lightning comes a callin.. Im old too and don’t go far anymore …and it gives me somthing to look forward to doing . pull the lever.. go inside wait it out … turn it back on….simple.Siemens GF222NA Safety Switch. Works good, lasts long time, APPROVED FOR USE UNDER LOAD THOUSANDS OF TIMES.
Mine is small, like my system. They make them big too.
Things to look at when selecting one would be DC volts, Amps, Fused vs Non-Fused, number of poles.
More than one ground rod is NOT GOOD. You will be an old man, like me before you figure this grounding thing out.
