What is a solar substation grounding guide?

Abstract: This guide is primarily concerned with the grounding system design for photovoltaic solar power plants that are utility owned and/or utility scale (5 MW or greater). The focus of the guide is on differences in practices from substation grounding as provided in IEEE Std 80.

What is the purpose of the grounding system design guide?

Scope: This guide is primarily concerned with the grounding system design for ground-mount photovoltaic (PV) solar power plants (SPPs) that are utility owned and/or utility scale (5 MW or greater). The focus of the guide is on differences in practices from substation grounding as provided in IEEE Std 80.

What is a grounding conductor (EGC) in a solar inverter?

The equipment grounding conductor (EGC) from the main panel and PV arrays are connected to the Ground terminal and Ground bus in the inverter. Both grounding electrode conductors (GEC) are connected to the individual grounding rod used for both systems.

Do PV systems need grounding?

It is a mandatory practice required by NEC and IEC codes to protect both equipment and personnel from damage and electric shock hazards. This article covers grounding in PV systems, which differs slightly from standard grounding systems.
