Abstract

See full text

A module clip for use in grounding a photovoltaic module through electrical connection with a racking assembly on which the photovoltaic module is mountable. The module clip includes upper and lower clip jaws at least partially defining a press-fit channel for press fitting the module clip onto a lower flange of the photovoltaic module. A piercing member on at least one of the upper and lower clip jaws pierces an electrically non-conductive outer layer on the lower flange of the photovoltaic module and contacts an electrically conductive material of the lower flange as the module clip is press fit onto the lower flange. A lead-connecting member of the module clip is used in securing a ground wire to the module clip.
