Are you considering joining the renewable energy revolution in Western New York? As the push for sustainable energy sources gains momentum, homeowners and businesses are increasingly turning to solar photovoltaic (PV) panels to power their properties efficiently. However, the success of any solar installation project hinges on the choice of the installation method. Here’s why ground screws and post pounding stand out as an optimal choices for installing solar PV panels, especially in the Finger Lakes region.
What are Ground Screws?
Ground screws are sturdy metal screws that are used to secure solar PV panels to the ground without the need for concrete foundations. These screws penetrate deep into the soil, providing a stable base for the solar panel array. They are especially useful in areas with diverse terrain or rocky soil where traditional foundation methods may not be practical. Ground screws help ensure the longevity and efficiency of the solar PV system by securely anchoring it to the ground.
Efficiency meets Durability
In regions like Western New York, where the terrain can be diverse and challenging, the traditional method of concrete foundations for solar panel installation might not be the most efficient option. Ground screws and post pounding, on the other hand, offer an alternative that reduces the installation timeline, and eliminates the need for concrete materials.
1. Adaptability to Various Terrains
Whether your property is situated in the urban landscapes of Rochester, the countryside of Livonia, or the suburban neighborhoods of Batavia, ground screws and post pounding techniques excel in adapting to diverse terrains. The flexibility of these methods allows for installation in areas with rocky soil, which is a common challenge in Western New York. This method of installation utilizes our construction equipment, a Bobcat skid steer, to screw the solar PV racking into the earth.
The other benefit? No roof penetrations are needed! While traditional solar PV installation methods fasten the racking of the PV system to your roof, ground screw systems are placed in your unused yard space. We love roof mounted solar PV, but ground screws are a great alternative for those who may not have optimal roof positioning or want to maintain the existing aesthetic of their home.
2. Speedy Installation
In a region known for its unpredictable weather patterns, the efficiency of installation methods becomes paramount. Ground screws expedite the installation process, reducing the time needed to complete your solar PV project. In many cases, our team can install the PV racking and panels and connect the system to your home’s electrical infrastructure in 2 days time!
