Description
Eco-Friendly Ground Mounting Without Concrete or Penetration
The IR EarthBallast™ Mounting Kit for up to 12 solar modules is a versatile, durable, and non-invasive mounting solution for IntegraRack’s solar frames, including models IR-15, IR-30, IR-45, IR-35A, and IR-45ASA. Instead of concrete footings or screw-in anchors, this system uses your site’s own soil or gravel as ballast—held in place by geotextile fabric and industrial epoxy—to provide a stable foundation that’s fast to install and gentle on the environment.
This kit is ideal for projects where ground disturbance is limited, concrete is impractical, or fast deployment is required.
Key Features
- Concrete-Free Installation – Stabilizes your racking system using local ground material and epoxy-bound geotextile without needing concrete or digging.
- Fast & Easy Setup – Designed for rapid deployment—installation per frame can be completed in under 10 minutes.
- Compatible with Multiple Racks – Supports IR-15, IR-30, IR-45, IR-35A, and IR-45ASA BallastRack™ systems.
- All-In-One Kit – Comes complete with geotextile, epoxy, wipes, and tools needed for field installation.
- Ideal for Sensitive Terrain – Perfect for rocky, remote, or protected sites where minimal ground impact is required.
What's Included in the Kit
- (1) 3' x 50' Roll of Geotextile Material
- (1) Tube of 15-Minute Industrial Epoxy
- (1) Extra Mixing Nozzle
- (1) Scuff Pad for Surface Prep
- (2) Packs of Heavy-Duty Alcohol Wipes
- (1) 1/2" / 13mm Ratchet Wrench
This bundle includes all necessary components for one installation set. One kit is typically required per racking section.
How It Works
- Prep: Use the scuff pad and alcohol wipes to clean the base tubes of the racking system.
- Apply Epoxy: Dispense the industrial-strength epoxy across the base contact points.
- Place Geotextile: Roll out and press the geotextile fabric onto the epoxy-covered base.
- Add Ballast: Fill with native earth, crushed rock, or similar site materials—each base typically requires ~700 lbs. of ballast.
- Complete Assembly: Secure racking and install panels as usual.
