Pitched Roof Mount System With Self-grounding Hardware EZ Roof Mount System With Self-grounding Hardware UL2703 Compliant Pub. D10004-V010 Copyright 2015...
Product is tested to and recognized to UL 2703 standards for safety grounding and bonding equipment and meets UL1703 fire standards. SunModo EZ Roof Mount System can be used to mount PV panels on pitch roofs. All installations shall be in accordance with NEC requirements in the USA. The self-grounding and bonding system is for use with PV modules that have a maximum series fuse rating of less than 15A.
PV systems is a dangerous procedure and should be supervised by trained and experienced personnel. It is not possible for SunModo to be aware of all the possible job site situations that could cause an unsafe condition to exist. The installer of the roof system is responsible for reading these instructions and determining the safest way to install the roof system.
Pitched Roof Mount System With Self-grounding Hardware SunModo Self-Grounding System SunModo offers a proprietary grounding and bonding system that is designed into the mounting hardware for rails, clamps and splices. All hardware meet UL2703 Grounding and Fire Standards. The basis of the system is our patented stainless steel floating grounding pin which is designed to be captive in the mounting components and provides a bonding path from the PV panel frames to the rails and rail splices, and finally to the ground lug.
