[RE-wrenches] Parallel Service and Ground

[Kevin Pilcher]

Wrenches,

We’d like to land a ground mounted PV system at a meter pedestal to avoid trenching back to the house. Establishing the PV system as a parallel service, we could drive a ground rod at the pedestal and land GEC at PV disconnect.

This brings up the auxiliary grounding issue discussed by Mike Holt in his 2014 code video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuDqXFvRv94.   

Is there any way to properly ground this system without trenching back to house?


Thank You,

Kevin Pilcher
