Introducing
SOLKLAMP Ground Bolt
These bolts are designed for solar module grounding applications using solid copper
uninsulated 6 AWG to 12 AWG wire. The grounding assembly consists of a wire bolt (wire slot
on one end and threaded post on the other), wire binding hex nut, and mounting hex washer
nut. The grounding assembly is used with metal–framed photovoltaic (solar) panels and
related products that require grounding for safety reasons.
