In response to requests from installers, SolarEdge wanted to put all of its latest grounding techniques into one single document. It also announces many new grounding options available to support the growing number of racking solutions on the market.
Provided by default in every box of power optimizers, this star washer can be installed on the mounting bolt between the railing and the flat side of the optimizer mounting bracket. The washer penetrates the galvanized or anodized coating of the structure to ensure a low resistance connection and compliance with the ground impedance requirements per UL1741.
The SolarEdge grounding plate is designed for various railing systems with which the serrated washer cannot be used. Installed between the railing and the flat side of the optimizer mounting bracket, the plate penetrates the galvanized or anodized coating of the structure to ensure a low resistance connection and compliance with the ground impedance requirements per UL1741.

The new grounding lug is designed for mounting on rails with sliding nut fasteners or non-metallic structures where a continuous grounding wire is needed. The new design is simple and intuitive to use – the same bolt is now used to attach the optimizer to a rail and to fix the grounding lug to the optimizer.
