Ground Trac

The Ground Trac® system provides an aesthetically pleasing solution for mounting PV modules on hillsides and flat ground, creating the perfect solution for well pumping and communication applications.

Based upon Professional Solar's successful Ground Pro design for swimming pool solar panels, they adapted the idea to include their patented Roof Trac®/Slide-N-Clamp system. Professional Solar consulted their extrusion design  engineers to provide the right size adaptation of the Roof Trac® system to provide this solution. They adjusted the size and wall thickness of the Roof Trac® support rail to make the spans necessary to properly engineer this new product. As a result the Ground Trac® has become an efficient, quick and cost effective way to mount solar modules on the ground.

The Ground Trac® system now provides a solution for mounting PV modules on hillsides and the ground in rural areas or where a roof mounted system would not be possible.

 

Characteristics

Spans:

6’-10’ on center for pipe (depending on load rating needed)
7’ for support rail (front to rear)

Materials:

Anodized & Tumbled Aluminum & Stainless Steel Hardware

Engineering:

50 lbs. per ft.2
Downrated to 100mph approx. wind load for 10’ pipe centers
Rear pipe height not to exceed 5’

Pipe size (Req’d):

1-1/2” Schedule #40 Galvanized Pipe

 

Benefits

  • Extremely fast installation - greatly reduces labor costs.
  • All attachment points concealed within channel - provides an attractive and clean appearance.
  • All
    fully exposed aluminum channel and clamp sets are fully anodized -
    makes for an attractive appearance and reduces the chance of degrading
    the electrical contact between the support racking and the modules.
  • Specifically
    engineered to reduce size and number of concrete footings - this
    results in reduced labor and more efficient use of materials and still
    meets the 100 mph wind load required by most building departments.
