Ä

Ensure that all necessary safety and functional 
tests have been carried out according to 
applicable standards.

NOTE! Module damage may occur!

 

Ä

Ensure that the plug connections are secured away 
from any water-channelling surface.  

 

Ä

Integrate the system into the existing lightening 
protection system in accordance with the 
applicable local regulations.

WARNING! Fire Risk!

 

Ä

Do not use light concentrators (e.g. mirrors or 
lenses).

 

Ä

Ensure that the cabling is not exposed and/or 
hanging and is protected from dirt, moisture and 
mechanical friction.

Ä

No dry cleaning or use of rotating brushes. 

 

Ä

Modules must be cleaned manually and only with 
sufficient water.

Protective Grounding

In order to prevent electrical shock or fire, the frame of the module 
as well as any non-current-carrying metal parts of the system must 
be grounded. While this section provides some information about 
grounding the Q CELLS frames and modules, reference should be 
made to local statutes and regulations for specific requirements 
on grounding. The U.S. National Electrical Code addresses these 
issues in Article 250. 

Proper grounding is achieved by bonding all exposed non-current-
carrying metal equipment to the appropriately sized equipment 
grounding conductor (EGC) or racking system that can be used 
for integrated grounding. 

Q CELLS frames are protected from corrosion with an anodized 
coating, which has to be penetrated in order to ensure proper 
bonding. The different methods listed below are suggested methods 
for an appropriate bond between the frame and the EGC or racking 
system (that will have to be properly grounded). The method appro-
priate for any individual installation will depend on multiple factors.

Option A: Use of a grounding lug

A listed grounding lug can be bonded to the frame using the grounding 
holes pre-drilled in the frame. These holes are marked with a ground 
symbol, as shown below on the frame section drawing: To install the 
grounding lug, follow the specified instructions of the manufacturer. 
The grounding lug should be made of stainless steel or tin plated 
metals such as aluminum to avoid corrosion. 

The grounding lug should be attached to the frame grounding hole 
using a stainless steel screw, toothed lock washer or KEPS nut (in 
order to penetrate the anodized layer) and backing nut. Care should 
be taken to avoid the use of grounding hardware of dissimilar metals, 
which may lead to corrosion.

Option B: Integrated grounding methods

The Q CELLS modules can be bonded with the racking system using 
UL61730 or UL2703 certified integrated grounding methods. The 
racking system will then have to be grounded so that the overall 
system is properly grounded. The listed racking system and grounding 
device should be installed in accordance with the manufacturers’ 
instructions. An example of such integrated grounding method is 
the use of a WEEB clip or Schletter plate between the module and 
the racking system, when mounting the module. 

The WEEB washers are generally compatible with Q CELLS modules, 
however each combination module / racking system requires a specific 
WEEB washer size. Note that WEEB clips are intended for single use 
only; they must not be reused after removal or loosening. Refer to 
Wiley’s installation instructions for the specific use of WEEB washers.

An example of such integrated grounding method is the use of a 
washer recognized as meeting UL2703 requirements between the 
module and the racking system, when mounting the module. For 
example, WEEB washers are generally compatible with Q CELLS 
modules, however each combination module / racking system 
requires a specific WEEB washer size. Note that WEEB washers are 
intended for single use only; they must not be reused after removal 
or loosening. Refer to Wiley’s installation instructions for the specific 
use of WEEB washers.
