Disconnect the DC switch of each PV string connected to the inverter, and use a multi-meter to measure the voltage of the PV+ to ground and PV- to ground of each string. This will identify which string has the ground fault.

This involves bonding all metallic components of the PV array (modules, racking, inverters) together and connecting them to the grounding electrode system. The goal is to ensure that in the event of a ground fault, a large enough current will flow to quickly open the.
