IntegraRack offers lightning fast solar panel ground mounting kit options for easy solar module rack frame installation on even the most challenging rocky terrain. Our solar module ground mount kits are compatible with all BallastRack solar racking frames including the IR-15,30,45,35A, and even our seasonally adjustable sun angle IR-45ASA. We offer mounting solutions to address many of the challenges associated with installing ground mount solar panel racking systems. Each mounting kit includes a premium ratchet wrench to speed up solar panel installation. Furthermore, all IntegraRack BallastRack solar racking system models can also be securely ballast ground mounted with most flat style water tanks, sand bags, or concrete curb stops, providing a reliable solar rack frame ballasted racking option for temporary or permanent systems as well.
IR EarthBallast™ Mounting Kits
10 Solar Modules In 100 Minutes
Our EarthBallast mounting option is ideal for most terrain types, particularly when excess soil or crushed rock is available on-site. A skid-steer loader or tractor can be used to evenly distribute earth fill over the included geotextile material that is spanned across frames and epoxied to the top of each rack frame prior to the solar panels being installed, creating a strong substrate for ballast while allowing a clean and natural look when completed.
*1″ Conduit Pipe / EMT (NOT included) is required to link the frames together and can be sourced at any local hardware or electrical supply store in 10′ lengths, which is enough to cover two panels.
*We recommend using this system with two 3/4″ round concrete forming stakes for each frame to provide added strength and easy leveling of the system.
IntegraRack IR EarthBallast™ Mounting Kit Components
3 x 50′ Roll of Strong Geotextile Material
Tube of High-Strength 15 Min. Epoxy w/ Mixing Nozzle
Extra Mixing Nozzle
Scuff Prep Pad
Alcohol Wipes
Premium Ratchet Wrench
Geotextile material uses fast-setting epoxy to adhere to the BallastRack frames and earth fill over for a very strong and fast ballasted system.
Kit incudes a 50 ft. roll of strong geotextile material, a strong epoxy with mixing nozzle, a ratchetting wrench, and everything needed to prep the frames. Provides easy mounting in locations where ground penetration is not possible. Capable of ballasting up to 13 BallastRack frames (based on 46″ wide panel).
IR AnchorSpike™ Mounting Kits
AnchorSpike Installation Steps
The IR AnchorSpike™ Kits include a set amount of specially designed barbed aluminum spikes and a super strong two part epoxy. The IR AnchorSpikes have a hollow structure with open barbs that allow the epoxy to flow deep into the soil and create a solid anchor rated for up to 1,000 pounds of uplift per spike. Once in place, each BallastRack frame is designed to clamp onto two AnchorSpikes when the carriage bolts at the ends are tightened, which allows for fast and easy leveling of the system.
*One AnchorSpike must be tested at the installation site to ensure it can withstand a minimum of 1,000 lbs of uplift.
*1″ Conduit Pipe / EMT (NOT included) is required to link the frames together and can be sourced at any local hardware or electrical supply store in 10′ lengths, which is enough to cover two panels.
