Commercial & Residential Ground Mount Options

1-in-Portrait

The 1-in portrait system maximises limited space with a lower profile, available in single or twin post, ideal for height-restricted areas. Its streamlined, vertical arrangement enhances aesthetics and efficiency on narrow plots, reducing installation costs with its simpler configuration.

2-in-Portrait

The 2-in portrait system boosts energy production with a double vertical panel arrangement, increasing panel density. It's excellent for commercial applications where high energy output is critical and in areas where space and height are not constraints.​

Commercial & Residential Foundation Options

Whatever the terrain or ground conditions, our range of foundation options have been designed to work on even the most challenging of sites. Our aim is to make sure that, when using a Solarport system, there is no site that's off-limits. We will work with you to ensure the correct foundations are paired to your system and site location, maximising site viability and yield.

Driven Pile

The most commonly used foundation, the driven pile, can be used for most projects. The pile profile and length will be specifically designed to increase efficiency and strength for the foundation.
