The type of wire used for solar panel earthing is often underestimated. It is important to use the correct size and type of wire to ensure a proper connection and effective grounding. 6. Solar panel earthing is a one
1) Ground fault current always needs an effective return path back to the source. An equipment grounding conductor (EGC) provides such a path in most of the cases. In this regard, a main bonding jumper (MBJ) should

SS 638 : 2018 requires bonding electrically conductive materials and equipment to establish an effective ground-fault current path. In general, bonding a piece of equipment means connecting it to an equipment grounding conductor (EGC)
Features: Solar grounding for system spacer, it is 304 stainless steel with strong corrosion resistance. Versatility, fit for photovoltaic roofs, photovoltaic ground, photovoltaic shed and
Equipment grounding requirements for PV systems are covered in 690.43. These requirements include the bonding and grounding requirements for exposed metal parts of PV systems such as metallic module frames, electrical equipment, and conductor enclosures [690.43 (A)].
Key points from the NEC: The code requires all non-current-carrying metal parts of the solar PV system to be grounded. It specifies the minimum size of grounding conductors (more on this later). The NEC also outlines requirements for grounding electrodes (like ground rods) and how they should be installed.
Since the PV array and other electrical equipment in PV system, e.g., inverters, are often located remotely from one another, 690.43 (B) requires that an equipment grounding conductor (EGC) be run from the array to other associated equipment.
The location where grounded PV system conductors must be grounded is covered in 690.42. It states that a grounded PV array must be grounded at the ground-fault protection device—and at no other location.
While a separate grounding electrode system is still permitted to be installed for a PV array, per 690.47 (B), it is no longer required to be bonded to the premises grounding electrode system. In PV systems with string inverters, the equipment grounding conductor from the array terminates to the inverter’s grounding bus bar.
A number of factors make the grounding and bonding of a PV system difficult. PV systems are exposed to the elements, which can result in atypical situations where the usual practices for bonding may not perform as intended.
