Your electrical distribution system NEEDS to tied to ground to stabilize the phase voltages and to insure a real return path to source exists at the time of ANY (including the FIRST) phase to ground fault.
Will do bro. We want this to be a long term system and a driven ground is a small price to pay to ensure a stable voltage.
