2.3 Mounting options
The module is considered to be in compliance with UL 61730 only when the module is either mounted in the manner specified by
the mounting instructions, or when the mounting means has been evaluated with this PV module to UL 2703. A module with exposed
conductive parts is considered to be in compliance with UL 61730 only when it is either electrically grounded in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI / NFPA 70 (2014-2017), or when the bonding
means has been evaluated with this module to UL 2703.
