Ground Lug Alternate Installation 

 

 
 
 
 

 

 

The Ground Lug is intended for a single use 
after final torque values are reached and is 
designed to terminate or pass thru: #6 thru #12 
AWG cable, either solid or stranded, including 
#6 thru #12 THHN or THWN jacketed cable. 

See PV module’s installation instructions when 
mounting the Ground Lug to the PV module. 

 

 

 

The picture shows a 
Ground Lug mounted on 
one Rail per row of panels.   

Ground Lug K10179-001 
and K10469-001 detailed 
installation document 
D10003 are available from 
SunModo separately. 

 

 

Drill a hole on the side of 
the Rail large enough to 
accommodate the 6mm 
(1/4”) T-Bolt.  Install the 
Ground Lug to the Rail as 
shown.
