Hello all!
I am soon to purchase
a Fox hybrid 10.5 inverter
12Kw energy storage (fox)
18x 435 solar panels (an additional 6 I have already here) across 3 MPPT’s

I am unable to find any detailed information on the grounding of the inverter/ battery.
I am completely off grid, no mains and a generator back up.
We are a TT system. Earth rod in situ.
Would anyone be able to advise me / link me a video on the grounding connection from the battery to the inverter?
My uncertainty is where does the grounding cable attach from the batteries too? Currently, I am under the impression it attaches to the side of the inverter - does it finish there, or does it then need further attaching to a PE port on the eps side? I hope someone can shed some light :) thank yiu all

I would simply ground everything to your earth rod. Make sure the EPS port P+E is connected to the rod and not the inverter.
