Grounding a metal roof? | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 6/22/2012	I have a metal standing seam roof over the front porch (approx 8X30 ft) on the 1st floor of a 3 story home. There are not vent pipe penetrations, no PV solar arrays, no anteneas, no satelite dishes, no cable lines, no phone lines, no power connections, no electrical connections of any kind in contact with the roof. Does it need to be grounded?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/17547/find/
