Grounding and Bonding of a Sinclair Ground Mount PV Array

[AndyM...]

Great job on the array, I'd be proud of the attention to detail and neatness !!! 🤠😎

Beautiful ground mount system. Well done. Much easier to keep clean than panels on a roof.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing how you hooked everything together!

Great to see your system is up and doing great. I have about 25kw of solar in operation now with 5 5000es's. I just put up 42 more panels, I added on to my sinclaire ground mount. But now I am adding on 28 more panels on a seperate ground mount, using eg4 mounts, but putting them on a wooden tilting subframe. When finished this summer, I will be up to 50KW. I will have 6 5000es's feeding the house, and 3 5000es's feeding my shop. They will all be tied to the same battery bank somewhere around 200KWh in size.

I like the fact that you put the copper ground conductor in contact with earth in the trench. Offers a ton of connection to the ground. Having the EGC separate from the PV circuit conductors could be arguable with regards to NEC code. I don't see much problem though.

Was wondering why you decided to have your panels so far from the solar shed, and what gauge wire did your use.

Wondering that we saw some YT videos connected grounding wire from remote ground array back to home ground rod, is it any difference as your arrays are ground right on the ground mounted posts? Thanks 🇺🇸👍

Where in Alabama are you? Im a bit west of Auburn and building a similar system. 2 sol-ark 15ks, lifepower4, sinclair ground mount... etc

Is it better to run an uninsulated ground wire between the structures or insulated?

What are the dimensions of those purlins?
