Always try Amicus and Podio first.  Wrenches is monitored by our local competition so be careful of what you post.

Does anyone have a recommendation for ballasted ground mount arrays, primarily residential (<50kw). We have used the Schletter PVMax system that worked well, looking for a lower cost to install and improved delivery from time of order. Most of our system are designed with the panels 4 high in landscape.

Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Schletter or Zilla

Anyone try the Zilla system with the helical screws? I’m normally a pole mount guy but planning a ground mount with Zilla next spring. I like the idea of the helical screw as it is less evasive. The only down fall I see is that you can’t get it off the ground more than 24” which may become an issue in the winter months.

Thanks,
Christopher

Chris,
I've used these a few times.  I would say they were successful.
What sort of questions do you have?

Has anyone had success using Schletter FS racking system?  I am having a hard time talking to their people, and getting answers to some information to price the project.

Thank you, Chris
