Grounding Wire for Inverter 12 volt/3000 watt
No he means ground wire, a wire from inverter case to chassis for ground. That wire should be 12 or 10 gauge, depending on the size of the 120 volt wires you use.
Inverter ground wire size
A small wire is adequate to just equalize potential/bleed off any buildup of charge, but it seems a big wire capable of carrying the max current of the circuit would be needed for catastrophic
Ground Wire Size for PV Array
Since the wire will not be installed in a raceway or cable I feel it needs to be at least #6. I''ll probably just run a #6 green THWN from the inverter J-box to their roof deck box.
