OK, I removed the statement.
You should edit your posts too, and when I get home I will search for that information.
I have received an email from a very well known instructor who said the following:
"Hi Joe:
I tell people that the grounding electrode conductor (GEC) can be "bare, or any color but green, white, green/yellow or orange" in my PV power systems and the NEC presentations that I make to electrical inspectors and electricians and PV professionals. Most use bare with black as a distant second choice.
I do not favor a new color as it will be hard to get in many locations and will take years to educate and implement."
