[RE-wrenches] Ballasted ground mounts

I have had engineering done for 90 MPH/ 3 Sec microburst wind years ago for a similar wetland type of situation. We were using 6" concrete slabs poured in parallel to accommodate front & rear legs of the ground mount. 1 slab per front 7 rear set each. The magic # was 18#of concrete per sqft of

Re: [RE-wrenches] Ballasted ground mounts

Thanks for the info everyone. I was examining this option in the hopes that my local AHJ might consider it a non-permanent structure and, therefore, exempt from wetland setback rules. It turns out that they will not give me an exemption even with no foundation. Alas, I guess we move back 40

Re: [RE-wrenches] Ballasted ground mounts

A possibility for a smaller ballasted ground mount system is the Sunmodo Sunturf mount. It is difficult to find info on their website but you will find the Sunturf mount in the catalog and the configuration too. This mount can be installed on cast in place piers, earth screws, or concrete

That's really valuable real world experience Benn - Thank you! I did intuitively notice in watching the assembly videos that that after the initial tensioning of the anchor cable that there was only minimal attention (and hardware) devoted to keeping that cable under tension. Could be as

Sorry, I sent that last email too soon by accident…. Yes, I’ve installed a few of these Nuance Osprey racks…. With much less than satisfactory experiences. The rack tables themselves go together fairly well, however the cable anchor system, while seemingly slick, left much to be desired in my

Wow cool product Nick!  Anyone have actual experience? I've been thinking that the concrete beam systems (above grade pre-engineered rectangular blocks like solarmounts.com) really could be used for any ground mount rack system (Unirac, IronRidge, SnapNRack, SolarMounts, ReadyRack, etc.)  in

Two that I've looked at but never used - I like the use of rock on the second one.  We quoted it for a job at one point and the price was quite reasonable. https://solarmounts.com/ballasted-ground-mount/ https://www.readyracksolar.com/ Hope that helps! Jeff Mac Lewis
