Thanks for the help yesterday guys!. I now know that I need to Earth ground my solar panels and it seems to be that the majority agree that the earth grounding conductor needs to be connected at one location. Which raises a few specific questions that maybe you guys could help with? Should I run my solid copper conductor from my panel frames underground and connect directly to my house grounding electrode? Or should I run the copper wire back to the main service panel and connect it to my ground neutral bar? Or should I have a separate ground rod and then connect that to the house grounding electrode? My set up is as follows. Two SP6548 set up in split phase. My AC in is coming from the grid from my MAIN panel where the ground and neutrals are bonded. I assume this same bus bar also includes my house main earthing connection to my electrode? Then MY AC out goes to a SUBPANEL where I have separated the grounds and neutrals. The sub panel IS NOT earth grounded to the main panel. I wasn’t sure if this was neccesary??? With my set up? Sorry for the long post thanks in advance for the help!!
