[RE-wrenches] Ideas and racking systems for "stowing" ground mount PV array during snowy winter?

[Mick Abraham]

Hello, Blake Gleason & All the Mechanix~

Travis Jordan astutely suggested "David Katz's single row system on 4"
posts, it would tilt to vertical and only be one mod high in portrait."

Mick here: If the site would accommodate something as wide & low as what
Travis described, you might ask Array Technologies if they can still
furnish their DuraRack AT "adjustable tilt" mounts. These resemble their
single axis Duratrack trackers, but without the automation electronics.
Each one can mount 12 to 16 modules laid out like playing cards side by
side. Seasonal tilt adjustment is handled by a geared down linear actuator
which in turn is driven by a cordless drill. Maximum tilt is 60 degrees
from horizontal; maybe that's steep enough or maybe not in Blake's extreme
jobsite.

I never had a suitable customer to match up with this solution, so I have
no direct experience with it. It might be worth a phone call to
Albuquerque 505.881.7567.

As always, "The Wrench List is the Bomb!"
