Great video. Did you have to get a permit to install this type ground mount solar array?

What I really want to know is how to connect two channels end to end to make a longer one.

Hello from north Texas. Thanks for the video. I had considered using superstrut for panels attachment and schedule 40 3” pipe for foundation into the ground. Also I have considered pivoting on center crossbeam somehow. Maybe seasonal tilt is not worth the cost/complexity here in Texas. Something to ponder. Thanks again for the video. All the best from north Texas.

The other day I was at HD and was looking at these Super struts and I searched youtube how to build ground solar rack using super struts and bam you pop up. Thank you so much for sharing. Dont worry about negative people. Oh I do live next city over Richmond TX. So will use the 26 degree angle :)

What a difference a few years makes. These struts are now around 35 each at the local HD. Still probably the best way to do this though. Thanks for the video.

Great video!

A very poorly designed rack. No diagonal braces. This rack will fail.

bro that shite looks fcked...judging by your house your a super cheapskate..Buy better quality parts at the distributor and manage your damn wires..defenitely super janks..

great job good video

I have a question for you and all your viewers I’m getting ready to build a more permanent mounting system for my panels I have considered metal but I myself personally am somewhat afraid of a metal mounting system,,, now let me tell you why. I have heard stories of lightning strikes they say that lightning will find a metal mounting structure faster than it would wood mounting structures I myself do not really know,,,have you or any of your viewers had a lightning strike using metal mounting fixtures and things? If you use a ground wire on your metal mount and panels would that prevent lightning from coming in your shed or building?

Bad design and not strong enough for high winds.

Your video is great. Just 1 concern that I see is the horizontal weight is basically sitting on 2 bolts. It's not likely it will shear.. buuut.. supporting under the horizontal with a vertical is better. Maybe turn the bolt around, set the angle over the top and secure it to the other side. Then all the weight sits on the vertical supports? Thanks so much for sharing and helping others.

Should have used the thicker steel 12 ga Unistrut and filled holes with concrete instead of just putting back the dirt. Also a few diagonal supports . . .

All things get more expensive these days super / unistrut goes for $36 dollars for a 10 foot span on the east coast. I’m seriously considering finishing my latest mount in wood that goes 2x4x10 for 8 bucks a board pressure treated. Also I’m sure all the bolts ect have skyrocketed… luckily a deck screw is still “affordable”. Pros cheaper.. cons less expandable with ease, wood carpenter bees go crazy for even treated wood here… and it doesn’t look as good as your mount ! Not to mention more difficulty in grounding. A poor guy can’t win.

how are you doing the end clamps? same as the mid clamps? what is preventing the end clamps from just bending and slipping off?

you didn't go into detail how you did the end clamps using the square washers. There is nothing holding up the outer end of the washer, so how do you deal with that?

Great video that I personally recommend following VERBATIM! Being frugal and time aware I bought the “shallow depth” super strut at Home Depot as I saved $5 dollars per rail and time as they never seem to have the greater depth in stock ! Then my problems began. The spring nut only fits the deep well product, …screws bind on the metal back plane as there is less depth so a much greater attention to screw selection must be observed. Screws must be much shorter. After initial build I was concerned about the rigidity of the shallow well bar so I built a wood frame that allows horizontal placement of 2X4s to anchor the horizontal bars… so my experience was a time consuming pain in the ass ! Moral of the story.. when good folk take time to make a good video with links to all the supplies one needs.. follow it ! Disclaimer.. I am not an electrical engineer, just a poor dude with hobbies I can’t afford.😊

Thanks for sharing! I had looked at some other superstrut & unistrut solar mounts on KZbin but with smaller arrays. Your system will work well with larger arrays and appears to be sturdy and strong. You are right about saving a considerable amount of money using these aforementioned materials as opposed to using other metal mounting systems. This was a well structured & detailed presentation.

There is so much information missing in these videos

Nice video. How are you earth grounding these panels?

Did you have to get city of Houston to approve the plan for construction?

Nice job like it

Did you cement the vertical piers?

Now $35 each at my homedepot Phoenix az

Great video just what I was looking for. I live in Wisconsin but it will still work.

Thanks for sharing 👍

Next time place a wood on top of unistrat if you gonna hummer it down ....

Wher is part 1 ground upright bars ?

Soy de Honduras 🇭🇳 me encantaría que lo pasen por el canal de las estrellas 🙏🙏🙏

Socks with Flip Flops? How old are you.................................................

Great video! And very informative! Do you happen to have a parts list you can post? Size of array and the amount of unistrut that was used in this build?

Would this mount work for SIX 200 watt panels? or would I need something smaller, how many struts do I need in total?

Nice. I note that you have no shear constraints, i.e. wire rope connecting the upper and lower superstrut nodes diagonally. This would significantly strengthen your structure. An efficient structural support must resist shear (wind loads), as well as gravity loads. Good video. I plan a superstrut ground mount for my 50 panel system. Well done.

Las grabaciones no terminan hasta Junio y después hay que editar todo una temporada asi que eso empieza como en Septiembre!

Pero si el año pasado no hubo reto 4 Elementos!

Cool

Que si estará Sebastián ,,,no m lo perderé ese chiko está hermoso y muy atlético 🥰🤩

I also would like to know some spacing details. I’m very interested in installing the same type system. Thanks in advance!

Por favor cono Perú se acaba un programa y en pieza otro Azi debía de ser México

Que renos ver Reto cuatro Elementoso Guerreros México

Great video. Thanks for sharing here how you connect the strut to the panel. I was a bit confused before watching this yet am feeling more confident in my approach now.

How’s it handle wind

Por qué no bascan de Guerreros México Ai ay buenos

Pues qué se balla

Gracias muchas gracias por cuarto Elemetos

Are you using microinverters?

Ojalá que ya den fecha no se sabe nada todavía espero reto 4 la tercera temporada saludos desde chile

Btw “liked and Subscribed”

I really appreciate the time you “gave” to educate me. I’ve seen several super strut videos and yours are the best. I do have a question. Do you think it’s a good idea to leave a 1 inch or so gap between panels ? The issue pertains to wind, sometimes we get major thunderstorms here. As I watched your video I realize this methodology is best for owners of different sized panels. I have 8 100 watt and 2 200 watt. I think this system rocks and ensures my ability to mount any panel neatly but group them by similar characteristics. Again thanks ! Buying some super strut tomorrow !

What height do you have on your columns. Going from top to bottom? The unistrut Going into the ground. And how much spacing in-between. I'm wanting to install the same setup with unistrut. But a small system like only 10x10 unistrut with 8 panels.
