Effective Grounding for PV Power Systems

Is Your Solar Project Grounded for Success? Utility companies often require effective grounding for commercial, industrial, or utility-scale PV distributed energy resources (DER) at the point of common coupling. Engineering effective grounding is pivotal for operational integrity during ground fault mishaps and stands as a significant hurdle in system interconnection. Inherent complexities make effective grounding engineering a priority from the planning stage of a project and may guarantee a more cost-effective design.
