I would love to ground the heck out of my system. Will drive ground rods at the metal shop building, at each corner. They may end up being short because solid granite is only down a couple of feet back there.
When I dug out front for the septic tank and underground LP tank, I had to dig a trench 6' deep into the granite, so I placed my array pole centered between the two. I will drive at least one grounding rod at the array. I may end up having to lay out buried radial wires in all directions terminating in a circle of shorter ground rods in order to get a decent lightning ground.

My hit came down the windmill feed skipped the batteries,set off the circut breaker on the inverter and fried the power supply for the laptop without harming it (laptop)
On the bright side I found out that the laptop would work fine on 12volt directly from the batteries instead of buying a new power supply at 15 volts. I call it timex now. It's relegated to a car diagnostic tool
but it worked fine (and still does) for 3 years till the modem quit. Now I have a new Dell that wants 19 volts. I haven't tried 12v on this one yet

I chalk that up to luck mostly but I can't emphasise properly grounding a system including the batteries and I like the idea of a seperate ground for them. Just to avoid any link to any other high point. It could backfeed from say the windmill ground to the batteries and fry them if they're on a common grnd
Just my 2 cents
