Heloo Martin.
Of the major racking manufactueres to date, every one of them is impressed with the concept. There are some that are looking into putting inventory on borad this spring so as to consolidate shipping costs. They would also point out tha…
Seems like an easy to use product.

Do you think specific manufactures would consider the product to be used in conjunction with various Multiple Pole Mounts (MPMs)?
Good morning people...and thanks for the replies.
First of all, the aluminum is not intended for the "ground mounted solar". The only applicable anchor is the industrial, stell, 25 inch version.
As for stamped drawings, we do not provide those but w…
Hi Joe, thanks for posting information about your product. I have heard of this method for installing ground mounted arrays. A common practice for utility scale solar farms. I have a couple questions:
#1 - do you provide P.E. stamped drawings with…

Profile Information
- Tell us about yourself
- We'd like for you to become aware of a stronger, faster and easier way to install the ground mounted solar arrays. Soil compression earth auger anchors are not your typical screw anchor. They are designed to compress the dirt as they penetrate the soil, increasing the density and multiplying the holding capacity for the vertical or horizontal assembly. So, no more digging holes, mixing concrete. These anchors screw into the ground in seconds and are stronger than the concrete concepts. Rapidly becoming the method of preference in the solar industry.

- Why do you support renewable energy?
- I have a vested interest in the industry as a whole. As a vendor as well as an advocate for more creative ways to offer better results from old methods. We are in a technology curve and the results have the potential for incredible alternatives for our future generations.
If you have questions: let me try to answer them.
We have been growing rapidly in this industry.
So many installers have been winning bids using this product. The labor and time reduction by using this anchor definitely increases their bottom line. Compared to using concrete, this is stronger, faster, easier and cost effective.
We can even offer P.E.'s that are anxious to get your projects approved.
We currently only have anchors for the multiple peir arrays. We are working the monopole versions but they probably won't be available until late summer or mid fall 2010. We appreciate everyone being patient.
