Grounding Products
Available at Solar Taos 2010 Solar Catalog

Grounding is an important part of solar installations and I am sorry to say it is also greatly overlooked and miss calculated.  Properly grounded systems are even more important today where Grid-tie systems can be up to 600VDC.  So please take the extra steps to make your solar system safe for you and your family.  I don't want to be an alarmist but from all the photos I have seen, fires caused by poorly grounded systems are not pretty.  So do it right.

 
 
Wiley Electronics – WEEB Grounding Products
WEEB stands for “washer, electrical equipment bonding”

The WEEB family of products are used to bond solar modules to aluminum solar mounting rails. The mounts are then grounded so the entire assembly is grounded. This eliminates the need to use a
lay-in lug and thread-forming screw on each module and it eliminates the need to run a continuous wire to each module.

This saves time and money and it meets the requirements of UL 467. Wire is only needed to connect a lay-in lug on each module rail to an equipment grounding terminal in the inverter or disconnect. ETL listed to UL standards


The WEEB-9.5
is used for bonding modules to mounting structures when the modules are directly bolted to the rails using 1/4" bolts through the mounting holes on the rear of the module frames.

This type of mounting is typical on DP&W ground and pole mount systems (pages 42-48) and on Wattsun and Zomeworks trackers (49-51). The WEEB-9.5NL is used for bonding strong-back structure and legs to the rail where 3/8" bolts are used.

Sold in packs of 100.

WEEB-UMC grounding clips are used between modules and UniRac SolarMount Standard Rails or SolarMount Light Rails when front mount clips are used to hold the module to the rails.

One clip grounds the frame of 2 adjoining modules to one of the mounting rails. Two clips are required for each pair of modules so that the modules will be bonded to both rails.

Sold in packs of 100.
