TerraSmart releases new ground-mount rack for landscape orientation of panels

By Kelly Pickerel | March 22, 2017

TerraSmart has launched its new TF2 Landscape, the latest edition to the company’s next-generation, fixed-tilt racking portfolio. Backed by seven years of experience and 1 GW of installed solar capacity, the new TF2 L rack brings TerraSmart’s cost-effective ground-mount technology to a landscape design.

“By optimizing our TF2 for landscape orientation, we can increase table sizes up to 6 x 8 panels to accommodate more modules per foundation,” says TerraSmart CEO Ryan Reid. “This maximizes system capacity and lowers the overall cost of array construction. As with all our products, our signature true turnkey solution lets customers bring systems online quickly and efficiently for optimal project returns.”

TerraSmart’s turnkey construction delivers unequaled precision through surveying and accurate rock drilling to minimize project risks and increase project bankability.

In addition to racking more panels per foundation, TF2 L reduces installation time by 35% through its in-field efficiencies. It’s time-saving features and benefits also include:

  • Adjustable design with up to 36% slope capability to reduce civil work and pre-construction costs
  • Only one-third the hardware found in competing racks, which increases project velocity
  • A simplified hardware stack that offers speed and flexibility on site

The TF2 L system is also paired with TerraSmart’s industry-defining and versatile ground screw foundation to work in any soil condition. Ground screws require less infrastructure than driven piles, saving customers 30% in overall foundation costs.

Designed to meet the most rigorous international criteria, the TF2 L is certified to the latest UL 2703 Edition 1 standard, complies with the NEC, has passed CPP wind tunnel testing certifications, and handles snow loads up to 100 pounds per square foot.
