We are buillding a house and have come to the electrical part. We will have 200amp service and are running the ground wire from the disconnect we have to have because the panel isn't back-to-back with the meter. My question is simply how many ground rods do we need? I've heard between 2 & 8 and this will be the difference of a bit of change at $8.50 ea. So just wanted your all's thoughts. Location is in the hills of West Virginia, up on a hill but trees on two sides if the matters. A fair amount of lightening. Thanks so much
