adjacent modules (say, modules C and D) on the lower rail (say, rail #2) and

WEEB clips and use the conventional bonding methodology per module manufacturer’s
instructions (proper location on the module, and listed screws, washers and
nuts), do we have to ALSO bond the rails? We have an inspector in Pasadena, CA that
is requiring this, but this is the first time we have been required to do so. Perhaps
in the past year in ignorant bliss we have missed an important development? Or
have we been dodging bullets for seven years and not even knowing it?</span></font></p>
