Grounding & Bonding

 

 

The E system has been tested by TüV Rheinland and conforms to UL 2703 for Grounding and 

Bonding when installed per the published installation instructions. 
E carries module-to-module ground bond through the Wind Deflector, Item E listed in the “E Core 

Components” table in this document. 
Each row of modules/wind deflectors in an array of up to 400 modules must be grounded per the NEC and ANSI/NFPA 70 

either through the designated ground hole in the Wind Deflector, or by drilling a ¼” ground hole into the Wind Deflector 

a minimum of ½” from any edge. One Ground Lug is required for every 400 modules connected within an array. 
Ecolibrium Solar recommends using #6 copper ground wire in conjunction with WEEB grounding devices such as the 

WEEB-LUG-6.7 or WEEB DSK516. Lugs are a single use component. 
Other grounding methods must be reviewed and approved by a licensed master electrician or electrical 

engineer and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). 

 

 

 

  

Green lines represent ground bond path.  Wind Deflectors carry module-to-module east/west ground bond.  Bonding 

jumpers carry row-to-row north/south ground bond.
