William,

 

Here's a link to listed splices made by Burndy, and compared to exothermic
welding.

Friends:

According to the 2005 NEC 250.64(C), the GEC for an AC system needs to be
continuous without splices unless they are irreversible.  I am not clear
where this conductor starts and ends.  Is it from the ground buss in a
sub-panel to the disconnect switch on the roof, or to each inverter?

Also, non-reversible splices need to be listed for use in grounding systems.
Any suggestions on make and model of splices so listed?

Any advise from those more experienced is much appreciated.
