HI Holt, I've done a pole as you are describing. It also had a tracker on it.
3 or 4 sections of scaffolding were used to install the equipment, although if better access a lift truck would have been better. And you'll need equipment to move and install the pole. The pole was guided, and sounds like yours in the trees so not a lot of exposed wind loading. Nothing difficult just more: money, time, equipment, and parts. One note, if you are installing a tracker, I might install a ladder and a platform on the pole to make repairing the tracker quicker and easier. jay peltz power On Mar 22, 2011, at 6:13 AM, <[email protected]> <[email protected]> wrote: > Situation: Client has limited locations for array due to trees.
