I'd like to put together a handcart with a 48v 100Ah rack battery and either an EG4 3000 or MPP 3048 (Leaning towards 3048). I'd also like the possibility to use the AC-in charging to charge the battery sometimes. What if anything do I need to do in regards to grounding? I would have 4x 200W 12v class bifacial panels that would be the primary panels for charging and down the road another set of 4 of those that I can wheel out and run in parallel (~112v Voc per string) for a boost. Should the array be grounded to earth? (Through it's own ground rod or back to the subpanel I would connect to for charging?) Do I need to do anything in the MPP or EG4 in regards to bonding in this use? Would this change if I used the bypass mode on the MPP to use the 'shore' power to power loads?
