By utilizing a structural "trampoline effect," the system generates massive downforce using tight-pulled geotextile fabric epoxied directly to the BallastRack™ frames. This modular approach allows for rapid installation using common heavy equipment like tractors or skid-steers, delivering industrial-grade stability with a clean, natural aesthetic. Mechanics of Downforce The EarthBallast™ system relies on a minimum 2" air gap between the ground and the epoxied fabric. When soil or rock is placed atop the material, the resulting tension creates a continuous holding force across the structural base tubes. This design eliminates the need for concrete footings or post-pounding, even in high-wind regions. PRO TIP: Use white crushed rock or light-colored sand to maximize bifacial solar gain from the reflected light beneath the array! Industrial Features & Compliance Zero Ground Penetration Ideal for rocky terrain, sensitive landscapes, or sites where post-pounding and augering are prohibited. Permit-Exempt Design Classified as a relocatable detached accessory structure under 7 feet, exempting most projects from standard building permits (IBC® Section [A] 105.2). Bifacial Optimization Creates a uniform surface beneath panels perfect for high-albedo materials, significantly increasing total energy harvest. High-Performance Adhesion Includes System Three® Quick Cure 15 epoxy for a permanent bond between high-strength geotextile and aluminum or steel frames. Technical Specifications EarthBallast™ Performance Requirement Min. Ballast Weight 1,000 lbs (Per Module) Geotextile Material Reinforced Heavy-Duty Geotextile Adhesive Type High-Strength 15-Min Structural Epoxy Wind Rating Compatibility Up to 160 mph (System Dependent) Building Code Compliance 2018 / 2021 / 2024 IBC® Exempt Required Linkage 1" EMT / Conduit Pipe (Not Included) Building for Success We're here to help you build a system that stands the test of time! To ensure your array has great lateral stability, we recommend linking your frames together with a 1" EMT / Conduit pipe. For a perfectly level and extra-sturdy row, using two 3/4" round concrete forming steel stakes per frame makes the installation process smooth and reliable. We can't wait to see your project completed! Engineering & Support Assets Lowest Cost Per Watt Designed for logistical efficiency, the EarthBallast™ system eliminates the high costs of concrete mobilization and heavy structural excavation, delivering superior financial value for remote industrial or residential arrays. Accredited Lab Validation The EarthBallast™ ecosystem has been extensively tested by Phoenix National Laboratories to verify tensile uplift and snow load performance, proving the system holds over 1,000 lbs of uplift force per module section. Included Components 1x 3' x 50' Roll of Reinforced Geotextile Material 1x Tube of High-Strength 15-Min Structural Epoxy 2x Epoxy Mixing Nozzles 1x Abrasive Scuff Prep Pad Set Surface Cleansing Alcohol Wipes 1x 13mm / 1/2" Premium Ratchet Wrench PLAN YOUR RACKING TODAY Start your site plan today by providing your details on the Solar Calculator for a complete system design.
