CEZ-GL-ST Grounding Lug EZ-GC-ST Grounding Clip The Clenergy PV-ezRack Grounding system has been developed as a univer¬sal earthing system to work with all Clenergy PV-ezRack products. It has been designed in accordance with UL 467 standards. This installation manual applies only to PV-ezRack SolarRoof (Tin, Tile and Tilt).
2. System Overview Grounding Clips are used to bond the modules to the rails Grounding Lugs are used to connect the rails together and bond the system Important Note:VC Use geneCral purpose anti-seize compound on fastener threads when installing Grounding Clips and Lugs. Grounding Clips and Lugs are intended for SINGLE USE ONLY.
3. EZ-GC-ST Assembly A. Inter Clamp B. Grounding Clip C. Patented Z Module D. M8 Bolt • Pre-assemble the Grounding Clip with the inter clamp assembly as shown.
4. EZ-GC-ST installation instruction Slide pre-assembled Grounding Clip and inter clamp assembly into position as shown, opening under the first Slightly lift the solar module and slide the Grounding Clip and inter clamp assembly into position. The Clip’s teeth will automatically be aligned under the edge of the module when the inter clamp assembly is correctly installed.

4. EZ-GC-ST installation instruction • When the positioning of the solar modules is finalized, ttighten the fasteners to 15ft-lb/20.5N-m torque using general purpose anti-seize compound • Certain module frames do not have enough structural strength to withstand the force required to embed a Clip. These frames will deform and therefore not allow sufficient penetration of the Clip teeth.
5. EZ-GC-ST Layout To ensure that all the modules are correctly bonded to the rails you need to use 1 grounding clip per panel and per rail. Even number of modules in a row • DENOTES PLACES TO INSTALL Grounding Clip Number of Grounding Clip = Number of modules Odd number of modules in a row •...
Ground Conductor Assembly Lay in copper wire and torque bolt to 7 ft-lb/10N-m Important Note: • Ensure that the position is correCct before tightening. The Lug may be used with a ground wire of maximum 6AWG.
Connecting rails • Clenergy splice kit provides the electrical connection between the 2 rails through the pressure bolts.This eliminates the need of using a jumper or 2 lugs.
