Photovoltaic bracket grounding construction drawing

Can a dynobondtm be used to ground a PV module?

The DynoBondTM is engineered for commercial and residential applications. Solar Stack racking system may be used to ground and/or mount a PV module complying with UL 1703 only when the specic module has been evaluated for grounding and/or mounting in compliance with UL 1703.

What is the purpose of the grounding system design guide?

Scope: This guide is primarily concerned with the grounding system design for ground-mount photovoltaic (PV) solar power plants (SPPs) that are utility owned and/or utility scale (5 MW or greater). The focus of the guide is on differences in practices from substation grounding as provided in IEEE Std 80.

What are the components of a solar stack pedestal system?

The system is a non-separately derived system. The following components have been evaluated for bonding as the fault current ground path: PV module, Mid Clamp, End Clamp, Pedestal and Ground Lugs. Solar Stack pedestals can be installed on BUR (Build Up Roong), Mineral surface (Modied Bitumen), EPDM, PVC, TPO, Hypalon and Concrete roofs.

How do you ground a solar array?

Grounding lugs connects the PV modules to the grounding conductors. Attach the grounding lug to the Solar Stack Pedestal with hardware. Secure the grounding wire to the lug by tightening the set screw and torque Grounding Lug 120 in-lbs. at Pedestal terminal and 5 ft-lbs. at wire terminal. Entire solar array must me grounded.

How do I connect a solar stack module to a pedestal?

Modules should be bonded to the Solar Stack pedestals with the manufacturer approved middle/end clamps. Grounding hardware (as a part of the module clamps) forms secure electrical bonds with both the module and the pedestal, resulting in many parallel grounding paths throughout the system.
