• Material: 304 Stainless Steel• Listed to ANSI-UL 467 by Intertek ETL for use in Canada and the USA• Maximum electrical equipment ground conductor size when used with 2 WEEBs contacting each module in an assembly: 6 AWG• Outdoor rated

The WEEB line of products is designed to bond solar PV modules to mounting structures and create an electrical path to ground. WEEBs eliminate the need for older, more costly grounding methods and greatly reduce the amount of labor and materials used in installations. The innovative WEEB design removes the need to run ground wire to each individual module and eliminates the need for surface preparation on anodized aluminum components. To install, WEEBs are placed between PV modules and mounting rails at clamping points or at bolted connections. When anti-seize is applied and the hardware is tightened down to the appropriate torque spec, the WEEBs’ specialized teeth embed into anodized aluminum, galvanized steel, or any electrically conductive metal to establish a gas tight electrical connection.

New Cable Clips for Rails ACC-R2 and ACC-R4


The ACC-R2 and ACC-R4 cable clips can be securely attached, by hand, to a variety of rails. The ACC-R2 is primarily designed to hold AC leads from a microinverter. It can also be used for other applications needing two smaller wires measuring 9.3-11.0mm, or one wire measuring 9.3-14.0mm. The ACC-R4 is designed to hold one to four PV wires, 6.8-7.2mm in diameter.

• Material: 304 Stainless Steel, tin-plated copper, outdoor rated• Low profile design• Multiple equipment ground conductor allowance: One 14 AWG to 6 AWG or two 10 AWG, two 12 AWG• Listed to ANSI/UL 467 by Intertek ETL

The lug consists of a WEEB (Washer, Electrical Equipment Bond), lay-in lug, and hardware. It is used with one solid or stranded copper wire (6AWG to 14AWG), or two copper wires (10AWG to 12AWG) to provide a continuous ground on photovoltaic solar systems. Unlike traditional lay-in lugs, the lug does not require surface preparation of a rail or module to install. The lug is installed using a 1/4”-20 stainless steel screw which embeds the specialized WEEB teeth into anodized aluminum, galvanized steel, or any electrically conductive metal to establish a gas tight electrical connection. The tin-plated lug assures minimum contact resistance and protection against corrosion. The copper wire is secured by a 1/4”-28 stainless steel screw, which is horizontal to the tang for easy access when mounted under a PV module. The low profile of the lug allows it to be installed in a variety of positions and comes with hardware to mount it to a rail or through a 1/4 inch clearance hole.

Bonding Jumpers

The Bonding Jumper is used to create an electrical connection between two pieces of anodized aluminum, galvanized steel, or any electrically conductive metal which has been mechanically spliced. Long spans of mounting rails are sometimes constructed from two shorter rail sections. Manufacturers may recommend that a floating splice be used to allow for thermal expansion. A floating splice is rigidly attached to only one rail, and allows the rails to expand and contract in line with each other. In such cases, via NEC code, it is also necessary to make an electrical splice, which can be done with a WEEB Bonding Jumper. The Bonding Jumper is constructed of tin plated, braided copper wire with a WEEB attached at each end of the Jumper. The WEEBs provide a reliable, gas tight electrical connection, and the braided copper wire allows for thermal expansion. The examples below illustrate two ways to install the WEEB Bonding Jumper.

The ASSET consists of a precise positioning system, a digital camera, and energy analysis software for PCs using PVWatts weather data. It allows the user to efficiently analyze and document installation sites. In use, the ASSET is positioned to take a series of pictures at the intended site. Photos are uploaded and the software assembles the pictures into a panorama with the path of the sun superimposed. The sun path shown below has month and arc lines that indicate, in red, when the sun will be shaded. The software includes the historical weather data for cities across the United States and Canada. It calculates shading by month and combines with solar irradiance data to give a shading factor for the year. This information is available for editing in an Excel spreadsheet. The ASSET system ships field-ready with a durable hard-shell case.

“We have used our camera several times and are very satisfied with the performance. We also want to commend Wiley on their excellent customer service. For us, there was a bit of a learning curve to go through with the software. Their team was extremely helpful and responsive to all of our needs. It’s great to see there are still some companies out there who effectively support their products in the field.” -Steve Morin
