Challenge

A customer based in Chepstow was granted permission to install a 15kW single solar array comprising 44 panels, reaching out to No More Digging to provide the secure ground screw foundations and robust solar racking system for their project.

The customer's site had a difference of 1.4m in height over the full length of the array. As this was not in the original scope of the planning application, our installation team had to change and adapt to keep the cost down as well as to comply with the granted planning.

Solution

We supplied and installed a combination of 48 no. 1250mm and 1550mm RADIX PRO Ground Screws, running a string line that followed the gradient of the ground to measure out and position each screw along the site.

Once the installation of the ground screws was complete, the team continued fitting the RADIX SolarTripod racking system, securely anchored on the ground screw foundations below. The RADIX SolarTripod offers a compact racking solution with portrait-mounted solar panels to maximise the potential use of space.

The installation was completed in less than a day, allowing for solar modules to be mounted immediately, including 44 solar panels, two 7.5kW hybrid inverters and 10kW battery storage units.
