Article 690 of the NEC mandates that #8 AWG or #6 AWG are the smallest wires that can be used with grid tied solar panels and inverter systems, and for solar panel output circuits, #10 or #12 AWG are allowed. A ground rod is also recommended if the installation area is prone to. . This article covers grounding in PV systems, which differs slightly from standard grounding systems. You can't stop a lightning surge, but you can give it a direct path to ground that bypasses your valuable equipment and safely discharges the surge into the earth. This creates a safe path for electrical faults and lightning strikes to dissipate harmlessly into the ground instead of through your home's wiring or, worse, through you. The summary outlined below can be used by a solar PV practitioner; however, it is highly recommended that section 690. Single Point Ground - A ground wire that connects to a ground rod or ground wire under the electric meter.
