Ive done several polls that were 20 modules on one pole using MT Solar. I would highly recommend their product. That being said, that 10 inch schedule 80 steel pipe is a darn heavy... and youre looking at well over 2 yards of cement for that one pipe.</div>

I wonder how heavy the pipe would need to be in order to support 48 modules and then how deep would the hole need to be...</div>

<p>I'd be very nervous about how much deflection you could see at the corners in high winds. If the frame twists enough you could have modules break, or gaps between modules open up enough to lose the midclips and let modules loose. I would take a look at
MT Solar's multi-pole system, that starts really locking things in as you go big. I've never worked on a single pole mount bigger than 16 modules that I felt good about.<br>

<div>This mounting system looks pretty efficient--48 modules on a single pole. Does anyone have an idea as to the manufacturer or experience with the racking? The photo was unattributed.</div>
