Both the positive and negative wires should go back to the controller. This is needed to balance and complete the circuit.

Should the negative wire coming from the panels be grounded? the panels connect to each other, so they do not need to be grounded. |

There's a difference between needing to be grounded and recommending that they be grounded. There is also a difference between needing to be grounded in order to work and needing to be grounded in order to function legally. Laws and building codes vary depending upon where you live. You may need to ground your panels to be compliant with local codes. But they need not be grounded from a technical perspective. You called tech support. They gave you a technical answer about their products. Of course some other websites may give you different answers for what they sell, and for the areas they tend to serve. Get it? |

Hello All,
Like JSB mentioned. The panels do not NEED to be grounded to function. Now some areas and applications will require the system to be grounded for permit and legal use. feel free to call our tech support at 800-330-8678 and we could go over the grounding if it is confusing.
