Grounding Systems for MBPV Modules
The DC electrical energy from a PV module may be also be converted to AC and
connected to a utility grid system. As local policies on connecting renewable energy
systems to a grid may vary from region to region, please consult a qualified system
designer or integrator to design such a system. Permits are normally required to install
such a system and the utility must formally inspect and approve such a system before it
is connected to the grid.
The module frame must be properly grounded to avoid the hazards of electric shock or
fire.
