Solar Array Earthing
In order to provide electrical bonding for the metal parts of the solar array an earthing kit has been
provided as part of this system.
Find a good location close to the building where the full length of the earth rod can be completely
sunk into the ground, within easy reach of the earth cable. Run the earth cable in the shortest and
straightest route from the solar array to the earth rod, ensuring it is securely attached to the
building and / or support structure.
Using the clamp supplied connect the earth rod to one end of the earth cable and connect the
solar array and mounting system to the other end using the fittings provided.
