This is a partial backup scenario and the main service panel has a solid neutral to ground bond. I have not been able to find anywhere else where there is a bond, but there is always the chance that there is a neutral wire in a switch box or outlet box somewhere in the house that is touching an equ

Hi Jason, You should be able to land your PV EGC in the inverter ground bar. You could do a quick resistance check to verify the +, - PV Is there a bond somewhere (upstream service panel or in the Sol-Ark itself) between ground and neutral? If not, this can cause this fault. On Wed, Jun 5, 202

I usually get the 08 GFDI error when I haven’t bonded neutral to ground downstream. (Typically because I booted up the inverter after DC connection but before any AC wires are landed.) That goes away once it is fully commissioned. I get the F23 - Tz_GFCI_OC_Fault If is related to the PV array,

Can anybody clarify the following instruction from the manual? "GND the panel MOUNTS/FRAMES to any GND outside the circuit via 12AWG wire" Does this mean do not connect the array equipment grounding conductor to the grounding terminal in the inverter? Where would be the suggested place to connect
