Once grounding lug fixing with rail, insert U-Shape Copper Channel into 
grounding lug as shown in Figure 17. Strip earthing cable (the maximum size is 
10 mm2), insert the conductor into the Copper Channel and tighten the bolt 
M6*14 with 5~6 N·m to ensure the earthing cable is tight.

Note: Please check the electrical resistance between rail and earthing cable 
conductor to ensure the bonding is made.

There are three options for Grounding Lug installation.

Option 1

Fix the Grounding Lug into the top channel of Rail as shown in Figure 18.

Option 2

Fix the Grounding Lug into the top channel of Rail where just under the PV 
Module as shown in Figure 19. Total height of grounding lug allows installation 
under 30 mm high PV module. 

Option 3

Fix the Grounding Lug at the side channel of Rail as shown in Figure 20.
