Grounding Strategies for Solar PV Panels

In a solar photovoltaic (PV) farm, solar PV panels are fixed on a grounded structure with bolts and nuts. The structure, the frame of the PV panels, and the bolts and nuts are metallic (together called the assembly) and the layout of all assemblies of the entire solar farm depends on the terrain where they are installed.

Do Solar Panels Need Grounding?

In solar panel systems, two primary types of grounding are crucial for optimal performance and safety: equipment grounding and system grounding. Equipment grounding focuses on connecting the conductive components of the system to the ground, primarily to prevent electric shocks. It ensures that any unintentional current flow finds a low-resistance path to the ground, diverting
