Abstract: This guide is primarily concerned with the grounding system design for photovoltaic solar power plants that are utility owned and/or utility scale (5 MW or greater). The focus of the guide is on differences in practices from substation grounding as provided in IEEE Std 80.
Scope: This guide is primarily concerned with the grounding system design for ground-mount photovoltaic (PV) solar power plants (SPPs) that are utility owned and/or utility scale (5 MW or greater). The focus of the guide is on differences in practices from substation grounding as provided in IEEE Std 80.
To ensure the safety of the public for these extended periods of time, PV systems must be properly designed and installed using the highest standards of workmanship. This paper addresses the requirements for PV system grounding contained in the U.S. National Electrical Code® (NEC®) published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
Proper grounding of a photovoltaic (PV) power system is critical to ensuring the safety of the public during the installation’s decades-long life. Although all components of a PV system may not be fully functional for this period of time, the basic PV module can produce potentially dangerous currents and voltages for the life of the system.
This document sets out general guidelines and recommendations for the design installation of ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) power plants. A PV power plant is defined within this document as a grid-connected, ground-mounted system comprising multiple PV arrays and interconnected directly to a utility’s medium voltage or high voltage grid.
The NEC requires that all exposed or accessible PV equipment and circuits be properly connected to earth (grounded) using specified methods and equipment. Source circuits in PV systems may be grounded or ungrounded as explained in this paper. As installed PV systems age, grounding issues emerge that impact system safety.
