We have been using Nuance Osprey racking for ground mounts for a few years, with earth anchors for our attachments. Where there's decent, deep enough soul, this system works reasonably well and we don't need to mobilize any large equipment. This is a major advantage when working on more remote systems where the expense and logistics of large, heavy machines is less practical, especially for even larger residential sized systems.
Unfortunately, working in northern Vermont doesn't usually afford us "decent" or deep enough soil, so we've struggled a lot with the earth anchors. Additionally, our local supplier of Osprey racks no longer deals with them so sourcing problems along with the installation hassles has pushed me to look for another, reasonably priced ground mount system. So I'm looking for suggestions of racks and attachment systems others have found useful. We are looking at helical piles, but of course they are expensive. If they are our best option, we will price accordingly, but they are not a sure bet around here either. All suggestions are welcomed! TIA, Howie Michaelson Sun Catcher LLC
