[Gary Willett]

Here's the Ilsco listing from UL, where it's classed as "Grounding and 
Bonding Equipment":

The GuideInfo for Grounding & Bonding Equipment lists:

    _Grounding and Bonding for Photovoltaic (PV) Systems _--- Grounding
    and bonding equipment intended for use in PV systems are
    additionally investigated in combination with the PV module/panel
    (see QIGU) to the applicable requirements for such products.
    Installation instructions provided with the PV system (see QIGU)
    identify the specific grounding and bonding device that has been
    investigated and intended for use with that system.
