As I believe there are no stupid questions I'll ask this one.
I'm putting solar in our shop and it already has a 100 amp grid service installed with a grounding rod.
I will ground the array and all components but I was thinking.
It is proper to ground a DC system to the existing AC grounding rod already in?
Or should I put in a separate DC grounding rod and tie them together to complete a grounding system?
Your thoughts are appreciated?
