Grounding PV structure

HI

I cant remember too well the normal procedures for grounding structures. A large structure to mount 30 panels has been erected where we are to install. I believe if I remember correctly, that a separate ground rod should be provided for the structure. The main grounding rod will be for the inverters/generator/house. Is this correct?

    And at least one of my posts has disappeared.
    Probably has something to do with this: http://forum.solar-electric.com/showthread.php?22572

    Yes, I just heard from "Rick" at NAWS--The developers are still working on the conversion (Rick is getting warnings about data base errors).

    Okay that's twice that one of my posts (same one in fact) has been attributed to someone else and put in a different thread. This time it seems to have started it's own! :p

    (I think we'll keep this up so the people working on it can see what has happened.)
