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. SOLKLAMP Ground Bolt APPLICATIONS Solar panels and related photovoltaic products require grounding per the National Electric Code (NEC Article 690.34). These applications include, but are not limited to electrical grounding of solar modules and solar roof tiles.
