Grounding/fusing/GFIing for stationary Panel/Controller/Inverter powering a pool pump

[dontreignoorme]

I'm sure this has been answered before, but I can't seem to find it, so sorry for the presumably repetitive post.

Mostly need to pin down grounding, and whether need to fuse and/or GFI anything, though any any any other advice is greatly appreciated.

I'm setting up a stationary, off-grid solar rig to power a pump for a small above ground pool.

I'm thinking:

• 1 @ 100W Panel and Controller (probably Renogy unless shouldn't?)
• 1 @ deep cycle sealed battery
• 1 @ MicroSolar 12V 1000W (Peak 2000W) Pure Sine Wave Inverter
• 1 @ 3-Rod grounding kit (???????)
• Powering: Intex 120V Krystal Clear Saltwater System CG-28669 (and maybe some tiny things like a USB charger or small speakers) through Woods 50015 Outdoor 7-Day Heavy Duty Digital Outlet Programmable Timer

My questions:

1. Need to ground panel?
2. Need to ground battery?
3. Need to ground inverter?
4. If need to ground multiple of those, ground separately, or ground connected somehow?
5. Size grounding rod needed? These ones sufficient or need full 'house sized'?
6. Need to fuse? If so, at which point(s?) in the system?
7. Need to GFI? If so, where/how?

Thanks so much in advance for any advice,

Cheers,
Ben

I can't tell how many watts that pump needs to start and run but I doubt 100 watts is enough.

Also what is the battery spec? "1 deep cycle sealed battery" means nothing to me.

Also that 2000 watt PSW inverter may quickly drain a battery that is too small.

Why not go with a DC pump direct off the solar panel. 100W is not much of a panel for a pool pump & filter. 1/4 hp is about 350w (counting internal losses)

No, nothing is required or needed except a couple of fuses. All you need is two fuses mounted directly on the battery Term Post. A 10- amp fuse on the wire going to the Charge Controller, and a 100 Amp fuse on the wire going to the Inverter. Anythingg else is a waste of time and money. This is what you want.
