6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel bonding]
Why is a PV system bonded?
“Bonding and grounding PV systems ensures public safety, as well as the safety of PV installers and field electricians,” said Andy Zwit, Codes and Standards Manager at ILSCO. Excluding modules, the majority of components in PV systems are bonded like any other electrical system.
Can PV panels be ground bonded?
Several years ago Wiley Electronics LLC developed a scheme that allows PV panels to be directly ground bonded to the aluminum rails or other mounting systems. The rails are then connected to each other and to ground. The products are marketed under the “WEEB” name. WEEB stands for "Washer, Electrical Equipment Bonding".
What are the bonding and grounding requirements for PV systems?
The specific bonding and grounding requirements for PV systems in Article 690 are in Part V. Section 690.41 covers system grounding, allowing both grounded and ungrounded PV array conductors.
Why is grounding and bonding a PV system difficult?
A number of factors make the grounding and bonding of a PV system difficult. PV systems are exposed to the elements, which can result in atypical situations where the usual practices for bonding may not perform as intended.
What devices must be listed for bonding PV modules?
(A) Photovoltaic Module Mounting Systems and Devices. Devices used to secure and bond PV module frames to metal support structures and adjacent PV modules must be listed for bonding PV modules.
Do PV modules need a grounding conductor?
Metal parts of PV module frames, PV equipment, and enclosures containing PV system ac and dc conductors must be connected to the circuit equipment grounding conductor per 690.43 (A) through (D). (A) Photovoltaic Module Mounting Systems and Devices.
