I just want to throw in my 4 cents here: once you have proper grounding, look into surge protection, too, to make all that compliance actually financially beneficial to you in the probable long run by leveraging your grounding to save money: I have heard good recommendations for surge protection from these folks, plus they have their own test vid to show theirs works, so I will refer them, and made in USA makes them much better, too:I am considering setting up a system around the MPP Solar unit. How do you ground the system to protect against ground faults or accidental stray charge on an appliance chassis?
Electrical code says that Neutral (White Wire) and Earth ground (Green Wire )can only be bonded at the main breaker panel. How is the earth ground connection made when the transfer switch switches over to battery or Solar from utility?

Check out their videos at http://www.midnitesolar.com/videoDisplay.php under "SPD (Surge Protection Devices)".
If you want quantities other than a dozen of each model, then you have to order their product from their distributers since they only sell in boxes of a dozen.
From everything I've seen reviewed about them and the specs they show, they are the best in class for this product, and maybe one of the only ones. (Before I looked into them, I installed some Littelfuse products myself, but only in one spot, and I know I need three more spots covered for full protection, so that's on my to-do list, and I'm going to use Midnite Solar SPDs to finish that.)
