<P><FONT size=2><FONT face=Tahoma>Carl<BR>just the suggestion that each metal
roof panel be grounded is scary. There are probably no panels in existence with
manufacturer installed grounding points potentially making any metal roof
non-qualified for a PV installation using S5 clamps.<BR>This scenario was
discussed a number of years ago on this or some other site. While it may come
across as absurd for any AHJ to make such a call, it is entirely
feasible.</FONT></FONT></P>

&<BR>Grounding<BR><BR><BR>Wrenches,<BR><BR>In reviewing the archive I've
seen multiple threads on S5 to module<BR>attachment. I did not find any
discussions on module grounding on<BR>this type of installation or any
requirements for grounding the metal<BR>roof to which the modules are
attached.<BR><BR>It has been suggested to me that each roof pan which has a
module<BR>attached should be grounded (perhaps under the ridge cap).<BR><BR>Can
anyone offer suggested best practice or requirements regarding this?<BR><BR>With
