Well, the pictures are what the cell guys do at the bottom. In both cases, at the top the cell guys ground to an isolated bus bar.
In our case, at the top, we ground to a bus bar (not isolated). So the center lug on the ePMP gets a 6 awg cable attached to it run to our bus bar (all at the top). Or EP-S16 also gets a 6awg cable running from its ground lug to the ground bar.
