MOUNTING WITH CLAMPS 

It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the clamps used to attach the module are strong enough. 

Figure 4 shows the module mounted with clamp. 

 

 

 

Figure 4 

 

The clamps must not be in contact with the front glass or deform the frame in any way. Avoid shading 

effects from the clamps and mounting system. 

 

3.5 

GROUNDING 

 

All module frames and mounting racks must be properly grounded in accordance with the appropriate 

respective National Electrical Code.  

 

Proper grounding is achieved by bounding the module frame and all metallic structural members 

together continuously using a suitable grounding conductor. The grounding conductor or strap may be 

copper, copper alloy or other material acceptable for use as an electrical conductor per respective 

National Electrical Codes. The grounding conductor must make a connection to earth using a suitable 

earth ground electrode.
