You may want to look at a company called Powerfields. Ballasted ground mount, 25 degree angle, simple to put together. Can use dirt, gravel or crush and run for ballast.

I guess that I should have mentioned that I am looking at an 8kw residential application. Shine On!

Both were simple and effective. The APA system consists of metal cages that get built on site and then locally sourced river rock is added via skid steer. The RBI product uses huge, pre-cast concrete block that get formed at a nearby facility and then are set into place with a large telehandler. Both of these solutions are manufacturer-engineered on a per-project basis and as such have a minimum project size before they'll consider you. So they're good options for 100kw and up projects but not backyard systems. Cheers, Sam
