Skip the Excavation: Ballasted Ground Mount Solar Racking for Faster, LowerCost Solar Farms

Struggling with rocky soil, landfill caps, or skyhigh installation costs? Discover why engineers and project developers are switching to ballasted ground mount solar racking for simpler, faster, and more budgetfriendly utilityscale and commercial installations.  

 Why Ballasted Systems Are Revolutionizing GroundMount Solar  

Unlike traditional penetrating foundations, ballasted ground mount solar racking uses engineered concrete weights to secure arrays without digging. This gravitybased approach delivers unmatched advantages for challenging sites:  

Key Benefits Driving Adoption:  

1.  Zero Penetration = Faster Permits & Installations  

    • Bypass complex geotechnical studies and environmental permits for ground disturbance  

    • Install 5070% faster than piledriven systems (no drilling or curing delays)  

    • Ideal for landfills, brownfields, and protected ecosystems  

2.  Cost Savings You Can Measure  

    • Eliminate $15k$40k/acre excavation/piling costs  

    • Reduce labor hours by 30%+ with simple component assembly  

    • Reuse ballast blocks for future site reconfigurations  

3.  Engineered Resilience  

    • Meet ASCE 722 wind/snow load requirements up to 180 mph  

    • Hotdip galvanized frames (≥86μm) combat corrosion in coastal/harsh environments  

    • Dynamic weight distribution prevents soil compaction issues
