Equipment Grounding

  • PV panels should follow electrical grounding conductor sizes - [1]
  • Ie, for 30A DC, we need 10 ga ground.

What Size Grounding Conductor on PV Panels?

  • Australia rules - appear to say 6 ga for lightning protection, and 12 ga for frame grounding [2]
  • 6 ga USA if 'subject to damage'?
