grounding SHW collectors? [RE-wrenches]

[August Goers]

Hi Nik -

We've been asked the same question a few times before... I suppose it is
really up to the manufacturer, the manufacturer we were using did not
require any collector grounding. Perhaps you can call your
manufacturer/supplier and get them to write a letter.

As a separate note, I'm not really sure what the point of grounding the
collectors would be. Some sort of static build up as the fluid circulates?

Local inspector is wondering whether my flat plate collectors should be
grounded. This installation happens to be on a metal roof. Anybody else come
across this yet and how did it pan out?

Thanks,
