But isn’t the whole concept of RS to prevent the energizing of say a metal roof?The inverter sees a ground fault or ark fault. Trips off line, the RS activate and now it’s less than 80v. Isn’t that what it’s supposed to do?What is the purpose of grounding the metal roof?JayOn Jun 6, 2023, at 10:09
If I am not mistaken, this derives from some UL testing that showed that a
metal roof may become energized during a thermal event.I suppose no less

I'm watching this thread with interest. Is anyone aware of any serious
injury or property damage caused by an energized metal roof, and if so,
what were the circumstances? Is bonding metal roofs a solution looking for
a problem?

How about extending your bonding wire out to the adjacent panels in roof areas with S5 clamps and attaching a ground lug to each instead of an L foot? I know it sounds a bit ridiculous, but an inexpensive and easy solution?Michael D NelsonMD Electric & Solar, Inc.707-684-0064 mobile707-884-1862
Hey all,
I had started a thread about bonding to metal roofs in 2018 but can't
figure out how to respond via the archive. I know some things have changed
since then, so I'm circling back and starting a new thread.
In NY one of our inspection agencies (NYSERDA) requires bonding of metal
