Ran this past one of the code enforcement guys in the county.
Surprising response:
"We make you buy a UL listed panel board and breakers - what makes you
think you can build a grounding system that is equal to UL *and* be
able to prove it in court if there is a problem? Buy the listed rod(s)
and drive them with the appropriate tool"

Sure, why stop there? Put in 3" perforated copper pipe and fill the interior with a
soil doping agent to increase conductivity while you're at it. BUT! have you checked the
price of copper lately? Even 1" pipe is prohibitive in my opinion.

Would not a 1 inch copper pipe driven into the ground have more
conductive area? I have a grounding project coming up this summer, and
am looking forward to the rest of this discussion.
