[RE-wrenches] Ground mounts

We have been using Nuance Osprey racking for ground mounts for a few years,
with earth anchors for our attachments. Where there's decent, deep enough
soul, this system works reasonably well and we don't need to mobilize any
large equipment. This is a major advantage when working on more remote
systems where the expense and logistics of large, heavy machines is less
practical, especially for even larger residential sized systems.
Unfortunately, working in northern Vermont doesn't usually afford us
"decent" or deep enough soil, so we've struggled a lot with the earth
anchors. Additionally, our local supplier of Osprey racks no longer deals
with them so sourcing problems along with the installation hassles has
pushed me to look for another, reasonably priced ground mount system.
So I'm looking for suggestions of racks and attachment systems others have
found useful. We are looking at helical piles, but of course they are
expensive. If they are our best option, we will price accordingly, but
they are not a sure bet around here either.
All suggestions are welcomed!
TIA,
