Multiplus / Subpanel / Distribution panel / ground question

Having said that would it be necessary to ground the case since this has a grid input always connected?
If the grid input ground is always connected, there is no need to ground the case.

On the other hand would an additional external ground be a hazard (eg 6 awg tie in to solar panel ground?)
Whoop....... tell me more about your solar panel ground. Do you have a separate ground rod for your solar panels? Are they on your house?

If you have not seen them, you may want to review the 4 part resources on grounding that is in the resource section.
This is the first part and has links to the other 3.
 
Actually I have not installed my solar panels yet. They will be ground mounted. Thank you for the update on grounding as this will simply things. Also it would appear that hard wiring will be the safest and simplest approach. Really, really appreciate the outstanding feedback!!!
 
I mentioned in another thread that I am planning on getting the Midnight Classic charge controller at this time. I appreciate the ground and arc fault features. Wish more vendors would get on board (e.g. Vict...)
