The user manual for the Cotek SK1500-124 24V Pure Sine Wave Inverter states:
---
3-6. AC Safety Grounding：
The AC output ground wire should go to the grounding point for your loads
( for example, a distribution panel ground bus ).
3-6-1. Neutral Grounding (GFCI’S)：
3-6-1-1. 120V models：The neutral conductor of the AC output circuit
of the Inverter is automatically connected to the safety
ground during inverter operation. This conforms to National
Electrical Code requirements that separately derived from AC
sources (such as inverters and generators) which have their
neutral conductors tied to ground in the same way as the
neutral conductors from the utility tied to ground at the AC
breaker panel.

This says a neutral-to-ground bond already exists within the inverter, for the AC output side, right?
And so I will run a ground wire from the inverter chassis to the ground bus bar in my DC panel. But should I include another bond there, between that same ground bus bar and the neutral bus bar?
Would that make two bonds...which is bad!?...or would the two be separated, one on the DC side (breaker box) and one on the AC side (inverter)? Or does the inverter also bond on the DC side as well?
Thanks!
