Hi all,
I could land a project of several remote rural telecommunication hubs in the midwest that need a ground mounted PV, if it goes in-house, but management decided to bring an outside quote. I sit in the meeting and we are discussing racking, because of logistics we prefer non concrete options. We talk ground screws, we have a mini-excavator we could use. Outside representative suggests 10 degree ballasted racking on the actual ground.
Is this a thing? I've only heard of this for cast or pour in place ballasts or brownfields and then I think snow since a higher panel at 30 degrees can easily slide snow off.
Any thoughts? Thank you.
