[RE-wrenches] Top of Pole Mount Array on Ledge

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

A pole mount can be part of a virtually tracked array system. Gives long
hours of power, if that is the reason she wants this. It can be angled for
SW 9 months and go south for the winter. It needs another array or combo of
arrays for SE and S. If it is some other weird reason she wants this, I
would just do it and bill in advance. Tell her only death and taxes are
guaranteed!  

Somebody else will have info on a pole mount with ballast.
That would be interesting!  

There is no danger to your screw guy right?

 We typically use SunModo ground mounts
with ground screws which we can put just about anywhere as our screw guy
has a rock drill.  We have one customer who is dead set on a top of pole
mount array and will not settle for a typical ground mount with multiple
posts.  There is shallow ledge all over her property and we feel that
digging multiple large holes to find one spot where we might be able to get
deep enough would be a waste of time and resources. We have called an
underground locator who uses ground penetrating radar and he scanned a few
spots, but was unable to give us a good location based on soil types.  What
are you guys doing in this situation? Are there any alternatives, such as a
pole mount with large base and ground screws? I hate saying it can't be
done!    Thanks!  Ben
