Grounding methods for photovoltaic panels in mountainous areas

PV systems on mountains have potential for improvements over PV systems in a valley, as the environment on mountains offers benefits such as less fog, cool temperature and low land price. The goal of this paper is to present measurements for assessing and validating the potential of PV system on mountains in Austria.

6 FAQs about [Grounding methods for photovoltaic panels in mountainous areas]

Why is proper grounding of a photovoltaic power system important?

Proper grounding of a photovoltaic (PV) power system is critical to ensuring the safety of the public during the installation’s decades-long life. Although all components of a PV system may not be fully functional for this period of time, the basic PV module can produce potentially dangerous currents and voltages for the life of the system.

Is a grounding system suitable for a PV array?

In some high soil resistivity area, PV systems are also endangered by backflow current from the common grounding point. The high-frequency models for PV components, including air termination system, PV cell, grounding system, inverter, and underground cable, have been developed, and a modified grounding system for PV array is proposed .

Do PV systems need to be grounded?

The NEC requires that all exposed or accessible PV equipment and circuits be properly connected to earth (grounded) using specified methods and equipment. Source circuits in PV systems may be grounded or ungrounded as explained in this paper. As installed PV systems age, grounding issues emerge that impact system safety.

What is electrical & PV grounding?

Before discussing the subject of grounding, the term “grounding” requires definition. There are two types of grounding in electrical and PV systems—equipment grounding and system grounding. Equipment grounding is known in the ROW as safety grounding or protective earthing.

Does a photovoltaic system have a DC grounding system?

Photovoltaic systems having dc circuits and ac circuits with no direct connection between the dc grounded conductor and ac grounded conductor shall have a dc grounding system. The dc grounding system shall be bonded to the ac grounding system by one of the methods in (1), (2), or (3).

Does a solar hot water system need a grounding system?

Section 690.43 of the NEC requires that PV systems have equipment grounding systems when there are any exposed metal or conductive surfaces that may become energized. This requirement applies to PV systems operating at any voltage, including small standalone 12-volt PV systems and even a 6-volt, PV-powered water pump on a solar hot water system.
