[RE-wrenches] Ironridge ballasted BX on the ground

[Nick A Lucchese]

Greetings Wrenches,

Has anyone utilized any ballasted style commercial roof rack solutions directly on the ground? I have an upcoming project that is only predicted to be left in place for around 5 years and is on land expected to be put back as it was found therefore concrete is out of the question. I’ve successfully made temporary arrays with standard rails and tilts by pinning 2x wood material to grade but this one calls for something lower in profile. Very minimal use is expected during winter months so the lower production of a 10 degree tilt is not an issue. The Ironridge BX seems like it would be ideal and have been told at conferences and distributor shows that it would work but figure one of you may have experience with this product or something more appropriate and affordable? Perhaps even go for the bonus of something with a 15 degree tilt if it exists? I realize weeds and grasses will be a factor as well but client can come up with many low tech solutions for that aspect. The grade is quite flat, few rocks and site prep can certainly improve even more before the project begins.

Thanks for the wisdom and experience, Nick
