  • Electricians! Equipment Grounding issue!

    We have pretty complicated roof, and putting several arrays, and all the modules are kinda spread out everywhere, using solar edge optimizers as well.
    But we ruining a conduit through all the sections of the roof where the panels are, and putting 4x4x2 and 4x4x4 JB's everywhere.

    Is that ok, according to the code or common sense, to run one continues green #6 conductor (from the string inverters) to the very end in the conduit, and bond all the the EGC's (bare #6 copper that connected to the rails) in a JB's??

    P.S. Question is not about sizing, it's about the "continiuousness" of EGC.

    Thx

    1> Are you sure it's EGC and not GEC?
    EGC is not required to be continuous.
    But obviously a good solid connection is a good idea.

    2> Even a GEC can have connections - they just have to be permanent (usually crimped-on connector with a good crimping tool (not a pliers or vise-grips). Sometimes "one-shot" weld)
