grounding, only slightly better than the bare copper loops under screws is
to attach a small al/cu wire lug to each module oriented in the direction of
ground wire. Thus a straight bare wire can be passed straight through the
lug on each module in the row and secured. A little faster and neater roof
labor, same wire path.
