Do You Need To Ground An Inverter? (Safe Measures)
This can be very unpleasant and potentially fatal. A ground fault detection circuit will cause the AC power to be cut when as little as five milliamps of differential current flow to the ground. It will
-
Technical Information
Common grounding of the two neutral conductors of the transformer results in a partial coupling so that overvoltages can be transmitted via the neutral conductor.

Electrical testing standards guide for the PV Industry
A ground fault in a photovoltaic (PV) array is an accidental electrical short circuit between ground and one or more conductors that normally carry current. PV ground faults have many potential causes,

Solar Ground-Fault: How to Identify, Locate, and Repair
In some cases, an inverter ground fault warning can be a false positive, or even caused by an internal failure in the device itself. The first step is to confirm whether an actual fault exists.

Inverter Ground/Neutral Bonding | DIY Solar Power Forum
Bonding the neutral and ground in multiple locations allows for multiple paths and is called "circulating currents". That is an electrical flow that is unpredicable and would not be able to be an

Photovoltaic inverter neutral line
In common-ground PV inverters the grid neutral line is directly connected to the negative pole of the dc bus. Therefore, the parasitic capacitances are bypassed and the leakage current can be
