Ground-Mount Solar Structure Buying Guide
ENSOL Engineering TeamPublished 2026-02-051 min read
Ground-mount structures carry the array on open land. The main decisions are the foundation, the coating and the wind design — all driven by the site.
Foundation
Choose from driven pile, pedestal or ground screw based on a soil investigation. Wind uplift usually governs pull-out capacity.
Coating
HDGI is the usual choice for ground-mount durability; ZAM is strong for coastal sites. Confirm coating thickness against IS 4759 / ISO 1461.
Tilt and layout
Fixed tilt is set for the latitude; row spacing avoids shading. Trackers can raise yield where the site and budget suit.
