I guess the thinking is that DC side of the Enphase is grounded and
therefore a separately derived system requiring it's own system grounding.

Yes, but that comes from the assumption that the inverter constitutes a
seperately derived "system".
But if the only purpose or use of the DC power derived from the DC sy
I would like to remember us all back to 16-20 years ago when
we were required to use a ground cable "equal" to the
largest conductor in the system. This was typically sized by
the inverter cable at 4/0 copper. I gotta say that was a
really dumb rule.
At that time we were to "not create " ground lo
