[RE-wrenches] Equipment Grounding Conductor (EGC)-

[maverick at mavericksolar.com]

We use WEEBs everywhere.  We try our best to use a straight line of cooper and never let it touch anything else like rails or the roof (which is commonly metal). We found and use 7-strand bare copper and love how it handles.


Thank you,

Maverick

I do recall having some AHJs in Marin, CA  mandating the use of an insulated ground wire, due to the fact that it came into contact with dissimilar metals (anodized AL rail and galvanized B-line strut) on the roof.  One approach was to use weeb grounding clips at each module to limit the need and length of the EGC etc.  I was just hoping to hear how everybody  was dealing with this issue.
