DIY Solar - Episode 10 - Building a Ground Mount Solar Rack

In this episode, I show the ground mounted solar rack that I built for my twelve 255 watt solar panels. I started by visiting http://solarelectricityhandbook.com/s... to determine the optimal angle to set my rack for a stationary year-round set-up. After determining the desired angle, I laid a bed of gravel to the area to help keep the weeds and grass to a minimum. Afterwards, I installed five 4"x6"x10' posts for the top of the rack and then attached a couple 2"x8"x12' stringers to the tops of the posts using galvanized bolts, washers, and nuts. I then used my angle gauge to determine where the lower mount needed to be and how tall to make it. I used four 4"x4" posts for the lower mount, but I used a 4"x6" post for the middle since two 2"x8"x12' stringers needed to be butted together there. I then used some trailer suspension U-bolts to mount "Super Strut" channels between the two mounts. Finally, I used some Super Strut spring clips to mount the solar panels onto the super strut channels.
