Solar Racking Foundation Solutions For Difficult Soil Conditions: Guide Released

A newly released guide from Nuance Energy Group explains the most difficult elements of standard approaches to solar panel installation – such as the need for heavy machinery, geotechnical reports, and large teams – and emphasizes how entire projects can be expedited with the Osprey PowerPlatform®.

Offering solutions for different soil types and conditions, solar panel installers can use the Osprey PowerPlatform®’s modular design to complete work faster and take on more projects. Nuance Energy explains that a three-person crew can install a 6kW PV system in under an hour – while 2MW projects can be completed in 16 days.

The guide notes that each earth anchor features hot-dip galvanized construction and specialized penetrating teeth, allowing for direct insertion into virtually any soil type while maintaining long-term durability.

The minimal 1.5-inch diameter footprint of each earth anchor means installers can work effectively even in areas with difficult surface conditions that typically impede traditional mounting methods.

Because of this, the installation process only needs basic handheld tools – such as rotary hammers and drill drivers – to secure the earth anchors.

The reduced complexity of every project is a big departure from conventional installation methods, which depend heavily on extensive site preparation. They typically involve lots of excavation work, and need support pipes, rental of heavy machinery, concrete mixing equipment, and other large-scale construction tools – all of which are eliminated with the Osprey PowerPlatform® system.

In addition to this, Nuance Energy Group provides full training resources for contractors and installers through their Learning Management System. The platform includes detailed demonstration videos and technical documentation, while the company’s support team remains available to assist with implementation questions.

A spokesperson states: “The Osprey PowerPlatform® can create an entirely new avenue for your solar installation business and you can still offer rooftop installs as an option for those who want it or for those that don’t have the land. But when ground-mounted solar is the best option, the Osprey just makes sense.”
