New to solar and need some help!!
I am having an issue with a Renogy 3000 inverter popping the internal gfci device. I have hard wired the inverter to the breaker panel via the 3 lugs on the front of the inverter. The inverter case has a grounding lug on it and that is connected to the ground rod outside in the earth. The neutral-ground wires ( 5 different circuits with individual line breakers) inside the 100amp breaker panel are bonded to the same buss bar as if they would be when using grid power. Could the ground wires be separated from the neutral buss bar and connected directly to the exterior ground rod safety to prevent the gfci in the inverter from tripping due to voltage difference between the load neutral lines?
This is a new install with 4 100 watt panels connected in series to a Renogy Rover 40 MPPT controller and 2 Renogy 12v 200 a/h
The breaker panel is a recycled Square D that I took out of my home in good working condition. Just needed more circuits for the addition
When using the three outlets on the front of the inverter it functions as it should. Doesn’t trip the gfci. As soon as I connect to the breaker panel it trips the gfci.
