Re: Ground wiring configuration for solar panels
WaterWheel, Just remember, I am not a lightning control engineer. To be clear, we are always floating the +/- leads of the solar panels--Never tie - panel lead to earth ground (other through a DC sur…1 · -
Re: Ground wiring configuration for solar panels
Ummm, not sure. You want each point that can receive lighting to go directly to a ground rod as soon as practical. You do not want, for example, a pv ground wire going from array to charge controller…1 · -
