I agree that for the large system size in Moultonboro there would be more than one grounding rod/point. For a home solar power generating system grounding is suffucient and proper through the house electrical system ground and per code. It is tied directly to the incoming power companies meter through the house electrical panel so you can send them any excess power generated. With a solar system you have a Net Metering meter vs a standard power company meter. If it was a stand alone home system on the ground then I believe it would have a ground rod at the solar array as well as the standard house ground.
