We put in 40 KW and in the racking was a nightmare. The government required soil analysis, reinforced racks, and cement pilings 4 ft deep. Probably could have put in double the panels if we didn't have to deal with the f*** racks

I think this approach has interesting applications for small-scale solar in rural environments if the permitting can be streamlined



I mean with erosion, flooding, and the like, I'm not sure this sort of mounting on the ground would be any less of a hassle...


Most of those things seem nonissues in desert climates with flat Terrain.
