Marvin Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 On a 12v 860Watt PV panel system do the panels need grounding to earth? The charger/inverter is charged by the mains. The panels supply some 12v power for the batteries. The inverter only supplies 240v to a non-mains circuit. No panel earth point indicated on the inverter charger. The inverter/charger relays the, mains/battery power supply earth, depending on the supply. I have an earthing rod ready... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radian Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Manufacturers Instructions I expect. Does the inverter say if it's transformerless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
