I have pour-in-place above grade concrete footings, directly on the ground. This is for the mounting of a solar array. There is no intention for them to serve an electrical purpose, and no electrical conduit or wiring is installed in any of them.
Each footing has two layers of field-tied rebar grids, that are discontinuous from one another.
#1: is electrical grounding of the rebar required?
#2: is it required to connect wire to all discontinuous pieces/assemblies of rebar? Or simply one piece of rebar within each footing, assuming that concrete establishes the electrical continuity after it is poured?
