Introduction
Required grounding equipment includes copper-clad ground rods (5/8 inch or 3/4 inch diameter, 8-10 foot length), grounding clamps, UL2703 certified bonding products, and listed terminal bars. Solar PV grounding systems require specific equipment to meet National Electrical Code (NEC) safety standards under sections 690. All PV circuits exceeding 30 volts or 8 amperes must have ground-fault protection devices installed. For the equipment grounding conductor (PE) of the PV modules, the following requirements apply that are different from the requirements for the other conductors. Article 690 of the NEC mandates that #8 AWG or #6 AWG are the smallest wires that can be used with grid tied solar panels and inverter systems, and for solar panel output circuits, #10 or #12 AWG are allowed. What are the requirements for a solar PV system? All metallic parts,equipment,and supporting structures in the PV system must be bonded and grounded.
