I have had Powerfab build custom enclosures for me in the past but I really
like the HDPE enclosures from radiantsolartech.com they are safe and
constructed well.  I prefer stacked battery racks myself and am building a
custom one now for my personal off grid system,

This will be a completely enclosed and vented cabinet with HDPE trays for
acid containment.  
My question is has the inspector mentioned grounding it and what size EGC
will you be using?
