THE REVOLUTIONARY MODULAR SYSTEM

The Modular Solution for Seamless Commercial & Residential Solar Energy

Modular is Solarport’s solution for the specific requirements of commercial and domestic solar installations. This innovative system simplifies the complexities of installing ground mounted solar panels, providing a robust and flexible solution for small to medium-scale projects.

​Streamlined Design and Installation

Modular is renowned for its intelligent design that streamlines the entire process from site planning to deployment, making it a preferred choice for those seeking efficient solar mounting solutions. By reducing component variations and employing universal parts, Modular not only speeds up the installation process but also ensures easy system expansion with a single fixing size used throughout.

Rapid Delivery and Unmatched Support

Manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities, Modular is readily available for prompt delivery, ensuring swift project initiation. At Solarport, we pride ourselves on providing extensive support throughout your project, offering everything from installation training to technical guidance and on-site support.

Compatibility and Flexibility

Engineered to be versatile, Modular supports a wide array of solar panel sizes and is compatible with almost any terrain, making it a flexible option for a variety of solar ground mount projects. Whether you’re dealing with commercial or residential settings, Modular integrates seamlessly with any of our foundation options, optimising each installation to specific site conditions.

Flexible Panel Configuration 

Modular is available in multiple configurations, such as 1-in-Portrait and 2-in-Portrait, with three tilt angle options to enhance solar capture. Each mounting system complies with international quality standards and is adaptable to various ground conditions, making Modular a comprehensive solution for your solar energy needs.

Cost-Effective & Risk-Reducing Features

The Modular mounting system is designed to reduce errors and maximise productivity, cutting down on the time and resources needed on-site. These features help decrease labour costs and enhance overall efficiency. Safety is also a priority, with Modular’s design minimising common installation risks and promoting safer work environments.

Diverse Foundation Options  

Our broad selection of foundation options ensures that Modular systems can be installed on virtually any terrain. From ground anchors in challenging conditions to ballasted systems where minimal ground disturbance is necessary, Modular provides stable and durable foundations for every solar project.

Modular Ground Mount Options

1-in-Portrait

The 1-in portrait system maximises limited space with a lower profile, 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.​

Modular 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.

Ballasted

No breaking ground with our ballast system; allowing for a vast amount of applications. Options include the use of high density concrete blocks, railway sleepers and pre-cast concrete mono-block.

Anchored

With the use of only hand tools, our patented 'X-Anchor' allows for solar installation on reclaimed ground such as former landfill, or any site that needs shallow embedment and/or no heavy machinery.
