Foundation Options for Large-Scale Ground Mount Solar Installations
by Rbi Solar Inc. on May 9, 2011
When considering a large-scale PV installation, it is important to understand the dynamics of the methods and means of construction, especially for foundations. The foundation is the key to supporting the ground mount solar racking system. Without a solid foundation, owners risk having solar racking structures and solar modules flying through the air or toppled over due to the loading and soil conditions at the project site.
Several foundation options are available for the solar mounting systems including concrete piers, driven piles, and screw anchors among others.
