I am putting in a small solar setup at a remote building and have a few questions related to grounding and what gauge wire to use. I attached a diagram of some of the equipment I have and the gauge wire.
My questions are below:
1. Do I need to run a ground off of the battery bank?
2. Does the gauge of the ground wire matter (for example: should the ground wire be larger in diameter than the + and - wires). I was told that the larger ground wire will push the current to the grounding rod due to it being the least resistant.
3. Can the DC and AC portions of the wiring be grounded to the same location as shown in the picture.
Also, if there is anything else you can see wrong with the setup I have in the picture.
Thanks!
