Joel:
 
Marco is correct - I think you have it reversed in your email.
A GFDI protected array IS grounded except during after a ground fault
when it must be ungrounded by Code.
(Because we all know ungrounded PV is safer anyway so when we have a
problem we unground it).
 
Best Regards,
 
John Berdner

A PV array (just the array) that is ground-fault device protected is
not grounded except when intentionally testing (tripping) the
ground-fault device.

During normal operation, i.e., a no-ground-fault-present mode, the PV
array(s) are grounded. That is, the negative conductor is connected to
ground, right? Or am I not understanding you properly, Joel?

aloha,

"Residential roof-mounted PV arrays are ground-fault protected per
Article
690.5 so they are floated ungrounded."
