Grounding Clip

A photovoltaic grounding clip, is a metal accessory used in PV (photovoltaic) systems to establish a reliable electrical connection between the solar panel frame and the mounting structure. Its primary function is to pierce the anodized layer on aluminum surfaces, ensuring a continuous path to the grounding system for enhanced safety and lightning protection.

• Material: Typically made from stainless steel (such as SUS304) or galvanized steel for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.

• Design: Equipped with serrated teeth or raised points that penetrate surface coatings to create a conductive path.

• Installation: Placed between the PV module and the mounting rail, usually fixed by bolts to form a secure grounding connection.

  
  

Advantages：

• Reliable Electrical Connectivity
  Ensures consistent grounding between PV modules and racking systems by effectively breaking through anodized or coated surfaces.

• Corrosion Resistance
  Made from high-quality stainless steel (e.g., SUS304), resistant to harsh outdoor environments and long-term exposure.

• Quick and Easy Installation
  No need for additional drilling or welding—installs with standard bolts and nuts, saving labor time and cost.

• Enhanced Safety
  Reduces the risk of electrical faults, static build-up, and lightning damage by providing a low-resistance path to ground.

• Compliance with International Standards
  Designed to meet UL467, NEC, and IEC grounding requirements, ensuring safety and reliability across global PV projects.

• Universal Compatibility
  Suitable for use with most aluminum-framed solar panels and common rail profiles, widely used in residential, commercial, and utility-scale installations.

• Cost-Effective Solution
  Small component with a big impact—affordable but crucial in ensuring the longevity and safety of your PV system.
