    My electrician wants to remove the inverter's supply PE and...

    ...Replace it with a connection to a ground spike via the heat sink. The 1.5kW GTI has no off grid capability. This separates the house PE from the inverters but is it the right thing to do? New to the forum, this is my first post.
