Earthing & Grounding

Earthing & Grounding – GSE Solar

Ensuring Safety, System Protection & Long-Term Reliability

At GSE Solar (Glowsun Engineering Pvt Ltd), we take solar safety seriously. That’s why we offer professional Earthing and Grounding services for all solar power installations—residential, commercial, and industrial.

Proper grounding is not just a technical requirement—it’s essential for protecting your solar equipment, your property, and most importantly, your life.

Our Earthing Solutions Include:

DC Earthing

For your solar panels and PV structure, grounding ensures that any DC leakage current or fault is safely discharged.

AC Earthing

This protects your inverter and home appliances by safely redirecting AC surges or faults into the ground.

Lightning Protection System (LPS)

We install lightning arrestors, especially in high-risk or exposed areas, to protect your system during thunderstorms.

Earth Pit Installation

We create dedicated earth pits using copper rods, salt, charcoal, and other approved materials to ensure deep, effective current dissipation.

Installation Process

At GSE Solar, we follow PEC and NEPRA-approved safety protocols to ensure maximum system security. Our process includes:

Site inspection for soil type, moisture, and layout

Selection of correct earthing material (GI/copper rods, plates, etc.)

Earth pit digging and chemical layering for conductivity

Resistance testing using digital earth testers (aim: below 5 ohms)

Secure connection of all solar equipment to the grounding system

Final inspection and system certification
