FIG 3: ALTERNATIVE GROUNDING FOR A TRACKER THAT IS DISTANT FROM THE BATTERY<br />

BANK/POWERCENTER.<br />

• The modules, Wattsun Tracker, and mounting pipe are grounded as shown in Figure 1.<br />

• The PV array is ground mounted some distance (perhaps over 30 feet) away from other PV components<br />

(inverter, batteries, etc.). The distance is not specified in the NEC.<br />

• There are no AC power circuits between the array and the bank/power center.<br />

• There are no conductive paths (electrical or other) such as water pipes, metal fences, communication<br />

circuits, or telephone circuits between the array and the other structure.<br />

• Bond the negative conductor (PV Negative) to the grounding system at both the array and at the<br />

inverter/battery/power center location.<br />

• Do not run any equipment grounding conductors between the array and at the inverter/battery/power<br />

center location.<br />

• Use ground rods at the array and at the inverter/battery/power center location.<br />

WARNING!<br />

If you ground according to FIG 3, you must ground the PV Negative at both the array and at the powercenter. Do<br />

not run any equipment grounding conductors between the array and at the inverter/battery/power center location.<br />
