Most inspectors want to see a bond bushing following the array equiptment
ground wire all the way back to the panel. We bring it back to a gutter under
the equipment, then land it on a ground buss in the gutter. Everything else is
also grounded here… This lug is then grounded either to an existing ground rod
or ufer or, if required, the "new" ground rod.

Related question: How should we treat circuits that are less than 250V? Does
the EMT need to be bonded at EITHER end?
Some of our local inspectors are requiring bonding around all
concentric/eccentric knockouts, regardless of circuit voltage.
