MOST POWERFUL GROUNDING TECHNIQUES FOR SOLAR | PARALLEL GROUNDING FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR PANEL ARRAY

Parallel Grounding for Solar Panel & Solar Array

[@defjamsgreen]

EXCELLENT JOB FROM THAT TIME . ALWAYS GROUNG YOUR SOLAR EQUIPMENT WHEN IT COMES TO SURGES AND LIGHTNING STRIKES . SPDs👍 ARE OPTIONAL FOR OPTIMUM PROTECTION .

[@jwsolarusa]

That's right! 👍 Thanks for watching

[@ZenInnovations]

Thats a beautiful Setup!.

[@jwsolarusa]

Thanks for the awesome comment. Back to your questions. Yes we do have 2 hybrid Inverter chargers in place and a whole Nissan Leaf battery with all other components to get this job done. Feel free to check my playlist on Mppsolar PIP5048MG for the Hybrid Inverter Charger and how to dismantle Nissan Leaf Battery you will find series of videos I put together.

About the parallel grounding putting two rods next to each other it’s losing time and money, to properly improve the grounding impedance you have to set them apart with a distance of at least 2mts. To properly measure the improvement you need a specialized ohm ground meter.

[@jwsolarusa]

Thanks for the input Francisco.

[@adi9546]

The distance between 2 rods is twice the length of the rod. So if you are using 10' rods, the distance between them is 20'. So, yes, is a whas

[@adi9546]

a waste of time and money to put 2 or more rods together..

[@ucheeze6220]

[@mwaqarkhan7178]

It is great to uese two parallel ground rods but they should be 2 meter apart. 20 feet down in ground and a length of 2 meter or 6 feet . earthing pit should be filled with chemical powder.

[@jwsolarusa]

Thanks for your contribution. You mentioned "the Earth pit has to be filled with CHEMICAL" What kind of chemical is that?

[@closertothetruth9209]

Good size copper, i guess the panels are pretty strong , but I wouldn't walk on them just in case, I've actually seen small hairline cracks in the individual solar cells that make up a solar panel from people manoeuvring panels with their hands pushing against the backside of the panels.

[@jwsolarusa]

To be honest with you, we were walking on top of those panels for the rest of time we were up their. They are pretty tuff modules mate. Thank for the comment and have a wonderful day mate. Cheers

[@paulalien5062]

What kind of ground bars did you use? Also what if you add more solar panels..Do you have to replace all of the ground wire?

[@jwsolarusa]

Hello and welcome to jwsolarusa. I have two six foot copper ground rods with #6 AWG copper wire I interconnect the solar modules. You can find or buy these components at your local hardware stores like: HOME DEPOT, LOWE'S, MENARDS or any of your local Electrical hardware stores. If i decided to add more solar modules, I will have to continue with the same circuit from where I stopped. Thanks for asking, LIKE & SUBSCRIBE to my channel for more CONTENT coming your way.

[@paulalien5062]

Thank you..I thought you cant add to a ground line I thought i heard it had to be a contentious line without a break

[@DJimeku]

did you equipment ground the inverter/charge controller to a separate grounding rod? Are these two rods just for the solar panels?

[@jwsolarusa]

The equipment has separate grounding rod. Thanks for stopping LIKE SHARE and SUBSCRIBE

[@margovincent22x]

Not too sure but copper and aluminum in contact will cause corrosion. In other grounding they keep the copper 1 inch away while using a stainless connector. I am about to built my own so I am doing research now.

[@geofferyromany4634]

I am a rookie. excuse my questions. Did you ground the 6 awg wire to a combiner box? or to a charge controller? is it the same ground wire to the battery bank? Thanks

[@jwsolarusa]

The panels are grounded to a 8ft copper ground rod. LIKE SHARE & SUBSCRIBE

[@ucheeze6220]

The same grounding should connect the entire installation. Dangerous otherwise.

do you have a link for the mounting clips.

Did you use SPD ?

[@jwsolarusa]

This installation is based specifically Grid Tied. Please watch the rest of the series videos for better understanding

[@UK100Adam]

What about the inverters and your house? Do they use the same ground rod? I was thinking if lightning hits a tree near by then a different voltage would be induced at the different ground points/rods which could lead to damage to the electronics (inverters etc) at least. I'm not sure if these regulations are always sensible (drawn up by fallable humans like you and I).

Pretty sure if lighting strikes anything on that roof those panels are fried…the ground is to keep you from getting electrocuted by a short somewhere

[@jwsolarusa]

Mind you, this Solar System has been running for at approximately 7 years without any problems with lighting strikes around the neighborhood and also farms around. Anyway, thanks for your opinion and STAY TUNED and learn how solar works. Finally, don't forget to LIKE SHARE and SUBSCRIBE to the channel for more content.
