In this episode, we install the EG4 brightmount solar panel ground mount rack system from EG4. This system is designed to mount four panels to the solar ground mount rails, but if you are mounting panels about 44 to 45 inches wide then you will need to purchase a separate rail extension kit. We end up mounting for Heliene 490 W solar panels on this kit and the kit is mounted to raised post using cinderblocks.

Good job making it work with the constraints you have to deal with, I mounted my brighmounts to a 2" pipe using u bolts then mounted that on top of a 6" pipe 5' out of the ground so my arrays are fully adjustable in all directions. I was able to fit 4 485w bifacial q cells on each rack without using extensions. 2 arrays (8 panels) per string input to my 6000xp inverters is perfect 👌

Nice! Sounds like a great setup. Got a picture or video?

I like the pipe mounting for a base. I originally thought of using Iron Ridge ground mounts that use the pipe. I am unsure of what I will do. Also like Sinclair mounts with seasonal adjustments. All the best from North Texas.

I'd love to see a video of it

Thanks for the show and tell… I also have the same solar panel mount and been looking around on how others were doing theirs… I came to the conclusion of using concrete and just possibly just copy your way

@tl5077 Месяц назад

I'm installing the same exact setup right now so this is great timing. For the concrete expansion bolts, in the manual is says 19ft/lb of torque (228in/lb) which seems like nothing at all. Not sure if you're supposed to drop them in, torque them down, remove the nut, and then put the bracket on and tighten to 19ft/lb? I got no clue what I'm doing lol. I've never used expansion bolts like this before. Seems like you just put the bracket on, dropped the bolts in, and gave them a good spin with the impact. Any guidance on what to do here?

@tgbatg Месяц назад

the first one i tried that. meaning putting them in removing the nuts then putting the bracket on. Because of the size hole to expansion bolts, they kept falling back into the hole. So for the rest of the brackets, i put the bolts through the brackets then tightened up the nuts. I've used sleeve and wedge type anchors a good bit, so i was able to use an impact and get a good feel for the torque applied using setting/mode 1 on the impact.

@tl5077 Месяц назад

@@tgbatg Gotcha, any suggestions on how tight to crank to crank the bolts? To where it gets hard to turn the ratchet or just just lightly, etc?

@fullyelectric Месяц назад

Very nice 👍 what is the brand adhesive you use on the rods? And did you use hydraulic cement?

@fullyelectric Месяц назад

I see it at 13:30 what about the cement?

@tgbatg Месяц назад

It wasn’t hydraulic. I don’t see need for hydraulic cement in this application. The cement used was quikrete high strength cement 4000 psi. But the real thing you need to do is water cure it for at least the first 7 days. I water cured it for about 3 weeks and let it dry out for another
