Guidelines for Designing Grounding Systems for Solar
Grounding and bonding is a subject area that can be confusing to many. In this blog post, we summarize key points according to the NEC. The NEC is the primary guiding document for the safe designing and installation
Ground-mounted solar panels. What you need to know before
Ground mount solar panels cost more than rooftop solar. Photovoltaic panels installed on the ground tend to cost more than rooftop solar. Instead of using the existing supporting structure

6 FAQs about [Rooftop photovoltaic support grounding standard]
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.
Which conductor should be grounded for a photovoltaic system?
PeC 6.90.5.1 System Grounding. For a photovoltaic power source, one conductor of a 2-wire system rated over 50 volts and a neutral conductor of a 3-wire system shall be solidly grounded. Exception: Systems complying with 6.90.4.5. (Ungrounded PV systems) Overcurrent protection.
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).
Do ungrounded PV systems need ground protection?
In all cases, an ungrounded array must be provided with equivalent protection for ground faults, as required by NEC 690.35. A PV system is defined as a grounded system when one of the DC conductors (either positive or negative) is connected to the grounding system, which in turn is connected to the earth.
What is the Handbook for rooftop solar development in Asia?
Drawing on the Asian Development Bank’s experience installing the rooftop solar photovoltaic system at its headquarters, the Handbook for Rooftop Solar Development in Asia hopes to demystify the process of developing solar photovoltaic projects in urban areas.
Who should install a rooftop solar system?
Qualified professionals, including electrical engineers, should install the rooftop solar system, and a construction manager should supervise the daily construction of the plant. The building owner should engage one of their own engineers or a qualified third party to oversee the installation. Marking and staking.
