grub-install: Error: 'md126,1' not found on Hardware Raid

I was trying to install Arch Linux on my laptop. Everything was installed fine until I tried to install grub, which gave me this error.
I have two 128 GBs of SSDs and 1TB of HDD. The hardware raid is configured on two SSDs which also includes the EFI partition. Any idea why is this happening or any clue to solve this would be of great help.

Re: grub-install: Error: 'md126,1' not found on Hardware Raid

I have RAID 0. The two SSDs namely sda and sdb are raided together. And the disk is shown as md126 as whole, which is 256 G in size.
md126 partitions are
- md126p1 - EFI system partition 100M
- md126p2 - Microsoft NTFS partition 160G
- md126p3 - unallocated 77.36G
- md126p4 - Microsoft recovery partition 1G
I used

[grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/EFI --bootloader-id=GRUB] 

for installing grub

I solved this problem by Installing grub on the hard disk instead of RAID ssds
