[RE-wrenches] long ground mount

[Jason Szumlanski]

In a recent long Unirac U-LA design we did two separate racks, one
behind the other to create a seamless appearance, but physically
separated to meet wind speed requirements. You may want to consider it
two racks of 10 modules, not physically connected. If you are precise it
will look like one long rack. In addition to wind, you will have to
consider thermal expansion - possibly another reason to separate into
two racks.

You could use L-Feet back-to-back with Unirac Solarmount rails. To
create the tilt you can use Unirac's tilt legs, or custom cut and
drilled 2" structural aluminum angle.

Hi All,

Say and recommendations for a long 70' single row ground mount base
structure.  20 modules in Portrait.

What I've done in the past is deep unistrut, but for something 70' long
I thought maybe there is some other ideas out there
that folks have done and like.

thanks,

jay
