2.5. Earthing
Every solar PV installation needs to comply with applicable codes and standards, including for
earthing the PV module frame and array frame. On each SECT, the module frames are
electrically earthed to the array frames via the stainless-steel module clamp plates. Each
module is held using two clamps plates. Each clamp plate has two sharp edges that penetrate
the aluminium oxide layer on the frame of the solar module. Thus, if the array frame is earthed
(using the SPEL earth lug) then the module frame will also be earthed, and vice versa. Note
that the array frame components are mill finish (non-anodized) aluminium, so do not have an
anodized layer that needs to be pierced.
