You can get 5 gallon buckets at the Walmart bakery for $1 or maybe free. You could have oiled the inside of the totes and reused them. Just a thought. I hope your system works fine for you.
Thanks for this, I may use it. I was thinking of putting a piece of rebar in the wood in a bucket with some pvc to drive rebar into the ground and use fewer buckets. This could be moved if needed. Again thanks.
@@sleeper7 I was not saying it was bad, I was just looking at a lower cost way of doing a movable solar rack. They make a post ( for decks etc) that has a small concrete base and you drive four rods into it. I just remembered that. I doubt it is cheap at all.
