In Roof PV - Grouding?

[Conor]

My GSE instructions say I need to ground the panels behind the trays.

 

My Solar Edge instructions make no mention of earthing/ grounding.

 

Thoughts?

Seems no:

 

Excellent, one less job to do.,

and because I have panels on a metal frame this is the reason I have to earth bond the frame.?

Clarification, hopefully.

Agreed

 

Jinko Panels on GSE trays, no earth bonding. Sparky happy

Useful info ... looking to install Sunpower Maxeon 5 AC (fitted expanse micro inverters) in two separate strings on two separate flat roofs.

 

Came across this reasonably current Sunpower 'Safety and Installation Instructions for AC modules' dated 2021which I assume may apply to UK installs.

https://sunpower.maxeon.com/uk/sites/default/files/2021-06/Safety and Installation Instructions for AC Modules 537620 RevD Final.pdf 

 

Seems to have pretty clear advice on grounding / earthing.

 

Only question I have is whether I need to ground with separate, say copper, cable to a grounding plate / pole buried in the earth or whether I am over thinking this. Advice gratefully accepted!

 

Cheers to all
