Abstract
A grounding electrode which is automatically moisturized from a solar powered humidifier that produces the required moisture through solar radiation to which it and its component parts are exposed. The generation of moisture is therefore a function of the available sunlight, the thereby radiated heat and the soil dryness. A unit operating on utility power is also described.
