Frequently asked questions

What does a grounding lug do for the array?

The grounding lug brings the excess flow of current to the earth to protect the panels - the earth connection point of the PV system.

How many grounding lugs do I need per rail?

Each long rail needs a grounding lug at the end - plan one lug per long rail in your grounding design.

What does the grounding lug connect to?

It connects the rail to the grounding conductor that carries excess current to the earth, protecting the panels from fault current.

Why is a grounding lug needed for a PV array?

It routes excess current safely to the earth to protect the panels, so every long rail gets its defined earth path.
