I'm interested in the grounding/earthing question too
I have solar + inverter. From time to time I use a Chinese Honda-clone petrol generator as well
The "wiring" in my shed is carefully done but there is no earth because there is no switchboard - rather there's an extension flex with a 10A plug which either goes into the inverter or the generator. At the other end of the extension flex there's an RCD
I have been told both that I should and should not run an earth stake at the generator; also that I "could if you wanted" run an earth at the inverter
To my way of thinking - if there's fault current - the RCD will trip. I don't see what contribution an earth stake will make unless there is a switchboard and a path to neutral/earth so that current can flow to blow a fuse or pop an overload
But I'd be interested in the thoughts of better-qualified folks
Thanks, Mike

Mike, welcome aboard.
Here is a topic that could be some help.
