Girl needs help! Grounding questions

Registered Users Posts: 18 ✭✭
I have 3 100w panels with 3 12v 35amp hr batteries. Plan on increasing the size of my system so I want to be sure I do it correctly. I have 1 8' grounding rod.
A.
Can I run the system ground to the same rod as the equipment grounds?
B.
I have just the neg side of my battery bank hooked up to the rod. Is that sufficient for the whole system electronics grounding?
C. Do I need to have both neg and pos terminals of my batteries fused or just the positive side?
Thanks! Natalie
