For mounting on a grounded metal rail: Use the provided 5/16'' stainless
steel grounding star washer between the railing and the flat side of the
mounting bracket. The grounding washer should break through the anodize
coating of the railing to ensure low resistive connection. Apply torque of 9.5
N*m / 7 lb*ft. See Figure 4 .
Figure 4: Power optimizer installation and grounding using a star washer
For mounting on rails with sliding nut fasteners: If the star washer cannot be
used, use the SolarEdge grounding plate (purchased separately) between the
railing and the flat side of the mounting bracket. Use mounting specific
hardware as needed. Apply torque of
9.5 N*m / 7 lb*ft. See Figure 5 .

These methods have been evaluated by a nationally recognized testing laboratory as part of the optimizer evaluation.
The SolarEdge-supplied grounding lug kit has been evaluated only for use with SolarEdge power optimizers. It is not
intended or listed to be used as a general purpose grounding lug with other electrical equipment.
