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 commission. We calculate. You decide.

The study comes before the hardware quotation and produces usable plans for your site, whether or not you later buy the structure from Sunrak.

  1. Choose your study

    Compact, Project or Pro according to installed capacity. You commission a standalone design service for your site and retain your project drawings.

  2. Complete the technical brief

    Site, dimensions, modules, ground or roof, photographs and available drawings. Calculations start after the completeness check.

  3. Our engineering team calculates

    Wind, snow, exposure, support, loads and connections are checked against the site data and applicable standards.

  4. Receive plans, then the hardware quote

    After payment, the project-specific drawings are yours. Sunrak then prices the exact hardware; the study fee is creditable under the stated conditions.

Engineering comes before the hardware quotation. You then remain free to choose your supplier.

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.
