aluminum either has an anodized coating to reduce corrosion or a thick layer of oxidation as in the case of non-anodized aluminum. In either case, simple bolting of modules to structures, or lugs to modules or structures, will not necessarily provide the necessary bonding and grounding. The NEC generally requires that the installer remove non-conductive coatings prior to making electrical connections
