ground mount groundcover... [RE-wrenches]

[Jim Duncan]

I have been looking at photos of ground mount PV mounting structures for 
details that vary from the generic UniRac or PowerFab structures. I 
personally prefer a ground mount to a roof mount system if the real 
estate is available.
Anyway, I am seeing a lot of photos ground installs with what looks like 
a fabric ground cover slightly larger than the size of the arrays 
footprint. Is this to deter vegetation, prevent erosion or some other 
environmental consideration? 
An abundance of free chipped wood makes that media my groundcover of 
choice. It's ability to retain moisture and lower ground temperature is 
a plus during the really hot season here. 
thanks
