Question:
Hello Charlie, is the equipment grounding conductor used for bonding solar racking, that is ultimately connected to the service grounding electrode conductor required to be continuous, without splices for its entire length, for an ungrounded microinverter rooftop solar PV system? If so, which code section calls this out. Thank you! David Johnson
A
Answer:
Hi David, thanks for participating in the CQD. The Equipment Grounding Conductor is not required to be continuous without splices, but it must be sized and installed in accordance with Section 690.43, 690.45, and Part VII of Article 250.
The
Grounding Electrode System/Conductor required for a PV system structure is required to be installed in accordance with Part III of Article 250, which includes Section 250.64(C) which requires the
Grounding Electrode Conductor to be continuous without splice.
