CCS in photovoltaic projects: distinguish grounding from interconnects

Original publication: · Reviewed:

Grounding and bonding conductors serve different duties from module cell interconnects. Specify the required role first and use the appropriate product team and qualification basis for each conductor.

Review the application

A CCS grounding discussion does not establish suitability as photovoltaic ribbon or module interconnection material. Those requirements belong to a separate material and process review.

Information to provide

Confirm the proposed construction

Agree on conductor function and project duty.

Evaluate samples and the specified connections/environment.

Complete the project acceptance plan before material substitution.
