I am looking to build an array in a small parking lot. it will only be in service 2-3 years, and i don't want to disturb the pavement. the top is 27.5ft x 11.5ft, with panels almost flat roughly 8.5ft above ground. it will be pitched slightly but only for runoff reasons. Certainly classified as temporary and not grid-tied.
There's 72 cinderblocks per pallet, @ 33lbs per block, so 2 pallets is over 4,600lbs. they fit nicely between the posts in double rows of 10 with a 2x6 PT slid between them which is bolted through the 4x4 posts at each end. see below...
3 layers in the center (60 blocks) 2000lbs or 1000lbs per center post
2 layers (40 blocks) is 1300lbs on each end, or 650lbs per corner.
