If the Enphase IQ(2-wire) microinverters do not require a GEC or EGC, what is this 'ground up to the roof'?
I have searched for a few days, and the conclusion I have is that the metal on the mounts an panels composing the array is just allowed to be 'free floating' as far as electrical potential since it is double insulated.
To confuse it more, IronRidge refers to the old 4-wire 'engage' cable in their current Flush Mount Installation manual when they exempt the enphase micros from grounding. " Grounding Lugs and wire are not required in systems using certain Enphase microinverters or certain Sunpower modules. Equipment grounding is achieved with the Engage cable for Enphase or the AC module cable system for Sunpower via their integrated EGC. "
I assume it is still *permissable* to run a solid #6 wire from the ground rod near the service to the array, but will it actually help, or will it make a lightning rod. If you were to run this wire still, would best practice be keep it all exterior and go over gutter and under soffit, or run it in/alongside the conduit that enters the attic and exits the soffit?
