I'm in the process of building a ground mounted sun tracking array. The panels will rotate around two axis. I'm using SolarEdge equipment that does not require grounding of the panels. However, given that the SolarEdge string sits at 350VDC, I would like to ground the panels just the same. However, given that the panels are moving, a solid bare copper ground lead will eventually likely fatigue and break. I can coil the ground lead to effectively add a strain relief, but was curious if anyone else has seen a more robust solution. The tracking structure is all steel, mostly welded.
