Post your Ground Mount Setup: No questions or comments on the ...

Lets keep this thread to member builds of their ground mount either home-made, store bought or Frankenstein.

No questions or comments on the setup, just members post their mounts only with details below. I want a thread where people can scroll through everyone's post/pictures and see what their setup is and get ideas what might work for them instead of searching for days at every thread. If you have questions or comment about a build, message the member directly. I (and probably other people too) just want to scroll down and see the setups. Just hit the Like button and that is all. Please no comments or questions.

Details of your ground mount system including some detail about your setup. EX. - total KW size of ground mount built for, overall dimensions, what size ground contact posts you used (PT, Poles, I-beam...) Costs to build and maybe a picture if you did something unique (single axis, adjustable, etc..), your location (Canada vs FL will have an impact on design), what manufacture you purchased from if store bought​
4-6 Picture of Overall ground mount completed, picture with some panels on but still being added so we can see the mounts/bracing under the panels, how it's anchored into ground (concrete, screw anchor, wires, etc..), picture behind the panels. pictures of how the vertical posts are connected to panel posts (some people use lags, u-bolts, etc..) We don't need overloaded with every single angle and every nut and bolt. This is just to give a "tease" so if someone likes your setup, we can message directly and get more information.

Thanks for playing!!

Looks like mine.

Currently in the process of getting them off the ground and onto the side of the shop.

Now I think I need to explain something about my setup. It is in every sense of the word DIY. My wife has helped pick up the panels from the ground to the side of the building.

Now the side, yes side, this building has a 24' side wall and there is no way in hell I am going to climb up there, not gonna happen. So side of the building it is.

Ahhh, but wait you have it on two sides here.

Yup sure do.

The front of the building with the door faces basically west.....more or less. The long side faces basically south. In the early morning I get nothing, trees and the angle of the building. I could put it on the roof and be much better off, but re read above, not gonna happen. Also in the late afternoon, roughly 4 in the summer the side starts to fall into the shade, and that front panel is in full direct sun. So this is why I did what I did.

It is a work in progress and a little farther along then in this photo. In the end we will get there.

The "T" thing hanging on the T post holding up the wires was the test mount when I had one panel. Now I am just using it to keep the wires off the ground as much as I can.

The T posts I had buckets of, I could have done the "solar mounts" out of steel, but wanted aluminum. I looked into angle aluminum and the price was actually more here locally then buying these mounts off the forest site, plus they already have the holes.
