How to Ground Your Off-Grid Solar System for Lightning Safety

Off-grid solar installation in a rural setting, with solar panels visibly grounded using copper wires and a grounding rod driven into the earth, showcasing the system's protection against lightning and electrical faults.

Ground your off-grid solar system properly to protect against lightning strikes and electrical faults. Install copper-clad ground rods at least 8 feet deep and connect them to your solar array frames, inverter, and battery bank using 6 AWG copper wire. Grounding off-grid solar systems also requires bonding all metal components together, including module frames, mounting racks, and combiner boxes. Test the continuity between grounding points with a multimeter to ensure resistance is less than 0.1 ohms. Regularly inspect and maintain your grounding system, tightening …
