PowerField PowerRack 1200 Ground Mount, Pallet of 30 – 299-003-023

The PowerField PowerRack 1200 is an American-made, ballasted solar ground mounting system designed to simplify installation without traditional steel racking, concrete foundations, or extensive excavation. Manufactured from durable, UV-protected high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the PowerRack provides a fixed-tilt mounting solution for residential, agricultural, and commercial solar arrays.

This pallet includes 30 PowerRack 1200 mounting supports with mounting retainer and clip accessories. Designed for wider, landscape-oriented solar panels, the system uses locally sourced ballast material for stability and integrated mounting features to simplify module installation.

Key Features & Benefits

• Ballasted ground mount design: Uses gravel, sand, or suitable soil for stability without conventional concrete foundations.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured domestically using durable HDPE material.
• Fixed-tilt mounting: Positions compatible solar panels in landscape orientation.
• Tool-free panel attachment: Integrated mounting slots and retainers simplify mechanical installation.
• UV-resistant construction: HDPE with UV-protective additives is engineered for long-term outdoor exposure.
• High wind and snow resistance: Designed for demanding environmental conditions with appropriate ballast and engineering.
• Flexible array layouts: Supports dedicated racks or shared mounting supports between adjacent solar panels.
• Reduced ground disturbance: Can eliminate conventional foundation excavation in suitable installations.
• UL 2703 compliant design: Manufacturer-identified compliance for compatible solar mounting applications.
• Reusable and recyclable: HDPE supports can be relocated and recycled where suitable facilities are available.
• 25-year manufacturer warranty: Long-term warranty coverage from PowerField.

Simple Four-Step Solar Ground Mount Installation

Step 1: Set

Position the PowerRacks according to the approved solar array layout, aligning the supports for the selected module dimensions and required row spacing.

Step 2: Fill

Fill each rack with the required ballast material, such as gravel, sand, or suitable soil. Ballast requirements depend on the site conditions and approved structural design.

Step 3: Attach

Place compatible framed solar panels in landscape orientation. Engage the upper frame with the integrated mounting slots and secure the lower edge using the mounting retainers and clips.

Step 4: Connect

Complete module wiring, bonding, grounding, and electrical connections according to the approved system design and applicable electrical codes.

Ballasted Ground Mount Without Concrete Foundations

PowerRack 1200 supports use ballast weight and a low-profile mounting design to provide stability without conventional concrete foundations in suitable installations.

Each rack is positioned on properly prepared ground and filled with an appropriate ballast material. This approach can reduce excavation, simplify installation logistics, and provide a practical alternative to traditional post-and-rail ground mounting systems.

The PowerRack design is particularly useful for properties where minimizing ground disturbance is a priority.

Sample Ballast Weight Guidelines

PowerField provides the following sample ballast levels to illustrate how fill depth affects the weight of a PowerRack.

Compatible Solar Panels and Flexible Array Layouts

The PowerRack 1200 is designed for wider framed solar modules installed in landscape orientation. Its integrated mounting geometry accommodates compatible panels without conventional metal mounting rails.

Depending on the approved array layout, PowerRacks may be positioned beneath individual modules or shared between adjacent panels.

The required number of racks depends on the selected solar panel dimensions, structural design, and mounting configuration.

PowerRack 1000 vs. PowerRack 1200: What's the Difference?

PowerField offers two PowerRack models designed for different solar panel dimensions. Both use ballasted HDPE construction, but they accommodate different module widths and have different fixed tilt angles.

Which PowerRack Should You Choose?

• PowerRack 1000: Designed for compatible standard-width solar panels, with a compact footprint and steeper fixed tilt.
• PowerRack 1200: Designed for wider, larger-format solar panels commonly used in residential, agricultural, and commercial installations.

Durable American-Made HDPE Construction

PowerRack 1200 supports are manufactured in the United States from high-density polyethylene with UV-protective additives.

The molded construction provides a durable alternative to traditional metal mounting structures. HDPE is corrosion-resistant and nonconductive, making it suitable for outdoor solar applications.

PowerField also identifies the mounting supports as reusable and recyclable, offering flexibility for projects where equipment may eventually need to be relocated.

Designed for Wind and Snow Resistance

PowerField has conducted wind tunnel testing, field evaluations, friction testing, and structural analysis to assess the performance of its PowerRack systems.

The low-profile design and ballast-filled construction help resist wind uplift and movement, while the molded supports provide structural support for compatible solar modules.

Final ballast quantities, rack placement, and mounting requirements depend on site-specific engineering and applicable local codes.

Ideal Applications

• Residential ground-mounted solar arrays
• Commercial solar installations
• Farms, ranches, and agricultural properties
• Rural homes and open-field solar projects
• Solar installations where concrete foundations are undesirable
• Large-format solar panel installations
• Grid-tied and hybrid solar systems
• Off Grid Solar Systems
• Contractor and installer bulk ground mount projects
