The ground rod is for over voltage from anywhere other than your home.
Lightning, transformers, surges, but your home? You don't need it to complete the circuit, but you need it to have self protection, quicker protection, safer protection. Unless your home is prone to lightning strikes, use lightning rods, like in the movie "Powder".
Lightning strikes or recurring surges really suck.
Solar power isolation? I'm getting ready to install solar, this should be fun.. I'm thinking a solar trailer, or solar storage sheds with solar on top, and onboard batteries. Easier to maintain vs crawling on a 8 &12 pitch roof..
