What is the best foundation support for ground mounted PV arrays?

Drilled concrete piers and driven steel piles have been, and remain the most typical foundation supports for ground mounted PV arrays. However, there has been a push for "out-of-the-box" foundation design options including shallow grade beams, ballast blocks, helical anchors, and ground screws.

Are earth anchors a good choice for ground mounted PV systems?

Do you need a geotechnical engineer to build a pier/pile?

Both options require hiring a geotechnical engineer to provide the soil design values used to determine the required pier/pile depth for Earth Anchors for PV ground-mounted arrays. The deeper depth requirement also rules out their use on most landfill sites, overleechfields, areas with rocky terrain, and areas with shallow bedrock.

Do you need a foundation for a ground mounted PV racking structure?

A ground-mounted PV racking structure requires a foundation to resist high wind uplift loads, in addition to its standard function.
