splices in the east-west direction and contiguously with the north-south direction using grounding
washers on specific North/South Brackets such that each module is electrically grounded one in a
continuous path to the grounding electrode for the array.

Each contiguous array of module frames is then attached to the grounding electrode, in accordance
with Section 690 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) using one method as follows. Ensure positive
electrical contact through the anodizing on the module's frame by attaching the grounding
conductor to one of the 0.173" diameter (4.4 mm) holes on the frame marked 'ground' using an a

torque to a value of 20 Lbf-inch. Attach a solid copper (gauge AWG 4-12) to the lug to enable array
grounding.
