Hello. Looking at 3 solutions for a groundmount. I need portability (somewhat) as I’d like to experiment with array location plus we have a unique cabin arrangement that will likely fail at some point and I’d like to be able “pack up and go”.
Cost is not an issue. Our cabin is “no grid”, and requires dragging stuff 150 down hill, onto a boat, and then 150 uphill. Easier (lighter) is preferable.
So discussing the solar pathfinder, anyone have one? Useful? It’s only good for south facing, and not East/west.
My choices are:
1. Eq4 Brightmount. I actually have one. I’d need to buy 300lb footing pads (4) to anchor to. It’s adjustable, and somewhat portable. I can’t adjust East/west.
2. Plastic groundmount ballast things (current connected sells them). Super lightweight, easy to transport, and adjustable East/west. No,adjustment for tilt (unless wood underneath).
3. This : https://www.thecabindepot.ca/collec...ns/products/trifecta-3-panel-ground-mount-kit
Kinda pricey for what it is, but easy to transport, easy to pack up and go. Easy to tilt, and move,East/west. Wind may be a concern??
To clarify I will be experimenting with the array location, as well as East/west set ups.
I hope I got everything clear. Any questions just ask
