The panels are not on a mast but mounted on walls and nearby boulders.
For one thing they are too heavy for a mast (think about a mast you can
carry alone in 3000m height and deep snow), for another the whole thing

You don't drill into permafrost. Not unless you really have to.
If you are lucky and you have just frozen soil, you only have to deal
