Additionally, it is necessary to consult the manual for any charge controller or inverter before deciding upon a grounding scheme as they may have different requirements for grounding. There are a few cases that are worth noting here:
There are some small inverters - modified sine wave and square wave - that will be destroyed if they are connected in a system that has both an AC and a DC system ground as they do not properly isolate their DC input from the AC output.
There are some charge controllers that are intended for specific applications, like remote telecommunications installations, that are positively grounded.
