Earth Anchor Mounting System

The Earth Anchor Foundation System utilizes an old technology, the earth anchor to secure structures to the ground. This application is used in many other industries for holding down guide wires on windmills and utility towers and telephone poles to holding back the earth in retaining walls and many other engineered applications. They created another use for an amazing technology and engineered our proprietary Earth Anchor Foundation System to secure any supporting structure that holds one or more solar panels, solar inverters and energy storage components. This technology allows a project to mitigate a lot of the typical pain points which are usually associated with solar ground mount installs making it faster and cheaper to install and with fewer assets required.

When an Earth Anchor is driven to a depth of 4’ to 5’ it creates a cone of influence around it with the soil its embedded in. This cone of influence could be as much as 2 to 3 thousand pounds of soil per anchor and the typical install uses about 26 cubic feet of earth as a natural ballasting effect. The beauty of the Earth Anchor Foundation System is you can add additional anchors should you run into less that ideal soil conditions AKA soft soil. This is an area where other foundation systems struggle as there is only so much you can do to a pile driven post or you must add more concrete for ballast. The system can adapt to various soil conditions by adding additional anchors if needed to create an overall pull test requirement.
