Ground mount solar · Piles · Ballast · Tracker

Mounting structures for ground mounted solar panels.

A custom ground mount solar system: fixed or tracker solar panel ground mount frames, on driven piles or concrete ballast. Eurocode 1 sizing for your site, your power, your angle.

Technical study
Our custom process

You describe. We calculate. You receive.

Every structure is dimensioned for your exact site — not for a national average. The process is simple on your side; the calculation stays rigorous on our engineering side.

  1. You describe your project

    Dimensions and model of your solar panels, postcode, space constraints, desired headroom, site access, schedule. The more precise the brief, the more precise the quote.

  2. Our engineering team calculates

    Real climate zone (wind and snow per Eurocode 1 — BS EN 1991 / NF EN 1991 / DIN EN 1991 / CTE / NTC), terrain orientation, exposure, soil type, allowable loads, vibrations, cyclic fatigue. Nothing is left to estimation.

  3. You receive your tailored structure

    A structure precisely dimensioned for your site and its environment. Delivered with assembly drawings, detailed bill of materials and assembly manual. Ready to install.

No catalogue datasheet replaces an engineering calculation. At Sunrak, the calculation comes before the quote — always.

Four families

The right ground mount solar system depends on the terrain.

TYPE A

Fixed frame on piles

Driven piles 1.5-2.5 m, angle 25-35°. No concrete.

TYPE B

Concrete ballast

Precast blocks, no anchoring. Urban ideal.

TYPE C

Tracker

Solar tracking 1 or 2 axes.

TYPE D

Ballasted flat-roof tray

Compatible EPDM, PVC, bitumen, no penetration.

Build it yourself vs order custom-made
