[RE-wrenches] Grounding SHW collectors

[David Palumbo]

How many of you ground the copper pipe at your flat plate collectors by
bringing down a ground wire to a ground rod(s)? We asked Shuco and received
this response from an engineer there.

 

"No grounding necessary. The reason being all that copper piping going back
to the ground via the water supply." 

Philippe Gregoire

 

Curious as to what others are doing across the country. We have been
grounding, figuring that it will help protect the controllers in our
lightning prone area here.
