Keeping up with the requirements of the Code should be the goal of
everyone involved in electrical safety. The following is what I feel is an
important rule in the 2020 NEC®, complete with
graphics and a video. I encourage you to use it as a training resource for
your organization, and share it with your colleagues.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems, Grounding Electrode System [690.47] |

How do you properly ground a building's solar photovoltaic (PV) system? There are many myths, but it's not as difficult as you might think. In fact, you might be surprised when you learn just how simple it is to follow the NEC requirements for grounding such PV systems.
Take a moment to read the text and watch the video where Mike and the PV team explain the role the grounding electrode system plays in NEC Section 690.47 Buildings or Structures Supporting a PV System.
