What is bonding, and does it mean the same as grounding in a solar panel generator system? No. Bonding connects metallic parts to each other to ensure they are at the same electrical potential.

We were testing a system of 5x315Wp panels connected in a single string (38x5=190Voc) to a 5kW Voltronic 48V inverter. Now these inverters are now coming with MPPTs of higher and higher

Do not connect PV strings with ground faults to the inverter. Ensure that no voltage is present and wait five minutes before touching any parts of the PV system or the product. Only use measuring devices
