Green wire to copper ground.

If you have a ground wire bare copper wire you should hook to there. The ground wire will be either green or bare copper wire. Typically the fan and the mounting plate will have green wires to ground out the fan and the electrical box. This particular copper grounding wire is insulated and can be used outdoors without there being any concerns about moisture getting to the copper wire itself.

Update curtis is right below this post. In house wiring the ground is typically bare and has no coating. Green indicates the grounding of an electric circuit. The bare ground wire this wire visible in our photo as the un insulated copper wire seen between the white top and black bottom wires connects to the green ground screw usually found on the bottom of the electrical receptacle photo at left.

Your box is not set for a ground. The green represents the fact that it is an outdoor grounding wire. Green wires connect to the grounding terminal in an outlet box and run from the outlet box to the ground bus bar within an electric panel. A green wire can connect only to another green wire and should never connect to any other color wire.
