5.4.1 External Protective Grounding Requirements

All non-current carrying metal parts and device enclosures in the PV power system should
be grounded, for example, brackets of PV modules and inverter enclosure.
When there is only one inverter in the PV system, connect the external protective grounding
cable to a nearby grounding point.
When there are multiple inverters in the PV system, connect the external protective ground-
ing terminals of all inverters and the grounding points of the PV module brackets to ensure
equipotential connections to ground cables (according to the onsite conditions).
