6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel grounding welding specifications]

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.

What are the bonding and grounding requirements for PV systems?

The specific bonding and grounding requirements for PV systems in Article 690 are in Part V. Section 690.41 covers system grounding, allowing both grounded and ungrounded PV array conductors.

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).

Does a PV array need a grounding conductor?

Since the PV array and other electrical equipment in PV system, e.g., inverters, are often located remotely from one another, 690.43 (B) requires that an equipment grounding conductor (EGC) be run from the array to other associated equipment.

Do 2 wire PV source and output circuits need to be grounded?

Rule 64-064 2) permits 2 wire PV source and output circuits to be functionally grounded and Rule 64-064 10) does not require them to be connected to a grounding conductor or grounding electrode.

Can ungrounded PV systems be used with isolated inverters?

Most PV systems in the United States use isolated inverters with internal transformers (isolated inverters in the ROW) as of 2012, but non-isolated inverters and ungrounded PV systems are being certified/listed and are making market inroads. Note that ungrounded arrays can also be used with isolated inverters.
