Finally there is an affordable and easy-to-install mounting systems for larger panels and arrays at fixed angles. The new Scalable Solar Panel Ground Mounting by RPS is the quickest way to plan for mounting a large array. These Ground Mounts are built using the tried-and-true post & beam substructure, bridged by our popular RPS rails and solar panel fastening hardware - the gold standard with our Top-of-Pole Mounting systems.
For installation, all you need to bring are a few tools, some "2in steel pipe" (2-3/8in OD) and a few bags of cement for the post holes. (and your RPS solar pump kit of course!)
Check out the Scalable Ground Mounting Manual.
Note: When sizing for your system, the HR4's are compatible with large 200W-400W solar panels. HR8's are intended for 100W solar panel (<22in in width).

Here are some pictures of my pro system and 800v system. The 800v works all the time, even on cloudy days. With the two working together the pond is starting to fill up.
I'm interested in setting up your expandable rack but I couldn't understand your pricing per rack. Does the 16 large panel unit come as one set for a certain cost or do you have to buy four of the four panel units? I was also wanting to know the shipping cost to 77328 cleveland tx.
Nice mount but didn't have the user manual in the box. They sent it to me same day and the guys got it up and working the next morning. Be sure to use quick-crete so you can start adding the panels on top right away. Pretty smooth install. Had extra 2 feet of pipe at both ends which was perfect. Thanks to the guys. I'll add a photo shortly.
