Strengths and limitations
Strengths
- Adjustable 15 to 40 degrees in 2.5 degree steps; 8 in of extra ground clearance (dealers).
- Fits any size panel up to 800 W (dealers).
- About 2 minutes to assemble a frame (dealers).
- Panels up to 24 sq ft: 70 to 160 mph wind and 100 psf snow depending on method (dealer).
Limitations
- Panels up to 32 sq ft are limited to 65 psf of snow (dealer).
- You need one frame per panel plus one per row, and ballast, spikes or concrete.
- Base ballast needs at least 350 lb per module (dealer).
What it does not do
- Hold in high wind without anchoring: ratings depend on mounting method and panel size.
- Need concrete, but every method except the lag-bolt mount needs 1 in EMT conduit (dealer).
- Track the sun: the angle is set once (or seasonally) by hand.
