Just two of us built a Massive Ground Mount Solar System in a week!

That is awesome...very well done. Been watching quite a few van life vids and the off grid homesteaders. I'm in AZ and have looked at sites in the north of AZ. Thanks for the videos. Hope all goes well for you!!!

Tks for sharing

That gapping will help with heat dispersion and wind. Great job!

Good job! I have a couple of designs in the IronRidge planning site. The sizing of how much solar is in question to me. It was recommended we go with 24 400+W panels would work. I am calculating more need (I really don’t want to go back and add to the ground mount for 5 years so I want to plan for 32 panels. 24 might cover daily needs but not enough autonomy for days without solar. I plan on renting a mini skid steer to put in 2’ holes in our Texas dirt for the ground mount. Another ground mount I have considered is Pelican (I think) which you drive on he pipe into the ground and can adjust the angle for seasonal sun. In Texas we don’t have to adjust the angle as much as the northern states so I have thought of over paneling with a fixed mount. I have looked at Santan Solar but the cost of shipping almost makes me think I would rather get a pallet from near by Signature Solar here in Texas. Sorry for such a long winded comment. We haven’t even begun to talk about battery storage or inverters yet. Haha. Thanks again for your video. Great job! All the best!

This is a very well done video and I think you did a great job with your build! Thanks so much for posting it and looking forward to your video on the electronics setup. We have 50 acres offgrid in Northern Maine, so we're working through a lot of the same needs!

I really like the spaces between the panels. Kinda gives it a design element in the look of it. Were going to do a 8.8kw using the same IronRidge method for our one in Puerto Rico next year, but we only need 900kw a month. Super nice job. Hope it serves you well !

Thoroughly enjoyed that…great job btw…have liked and subscribed…watching in the U.K….Brian.

Great work- nicely documented - looking forward to the next one!

Great video and good job on the solar array. Thanks for sharing.

Look forward to more videos on the solar system. Looks great.

Looks good guys, look forward to some more vids on the rest of ur system. Cheers

Nice build thanks for sharing

Great video sir. I’m working on a similar system at my place in west Texas. The iron ridge and footprint site you mentioned will be a lot of help.

excellent work!

I am also putting up 24 panels but I am using mostly wood. I have a back deck that has been in place for 35 years and the 4x4 posts are still sound. North Florida, the ground is too wet for them. I have a small tractor with a three point post hole auger, yesterday I dug my first hole. We have soft sandy soil so with my tractor just idling sinking a 3 ft hole was very easy. Record heat so I do what I can in the mornings and then work on the inside wiring in the afternoons. I have two EG4 6500 watt inverters and the AC electrical panel mounted and the battery rack with four batteries wired. I am 71 and retired, my wife is taking care of her dad in our home and our 7 year old granddaughter 3 or 4 days a week so I am getting little help from her. I am running two 42 ft strings only 4 ft at the back so the panels can be mounted standing on the ground.

Nice job!

Yes, wanna see the inverter wiring setups

Wow that's awesome‼️ congratulations. I subscribe so I'll be watching your videos.

Where about are you located? I live just south of Sierra Vista, AZ. I have 24, 450 watt bifacial that I have to mount. I like what you’ve done and your reasoning.

Looks cool!
