Wao nahele kane, we will have a have a hybrid system (solar/wind/backup genset) and I understand about the need for seperate grounds.
I'm wondering if the electrical inspector will actually "ohm out" the installation. Another thing I wonder about is dry vs wet periods. I think I could possibly lose my ground as the(what little I may have) soil dries out.
I had also thought about drilling a larger hole and using concrete as a filler, but you all beat me to that.
Outbuildings (we will have at least two) will also have to have their own grounding systems. Gonna have a lot of holes drilled!
Royall, you were brave to try just pounding them in!
