IR EarthBallast™ Mounting Kit
Our EarthBallast mounting option is ideal for most terrain types, particularly when excess soil or crushed rock is available on-site. A skid-steer loader or tractor can be used to evenly distribute earth fill over the included geotextile material that is stretched across and epoxied to the top of each solar rack frame prior to the solar panels being installed, creating a strong heavy ballast with a clean and natural look when completed.
*1" Conduit Pipe / EMT (NOT included) is required to link the frames together and can be sourced at any local hardware or electrical supply store in 10' lengths, which is enough to cover two panels.
*We recommend using this system with two 3/8" concrete forming stakes for each frame to provide added strength and easy leveling of the system.
Included Components
- 3 x 50' Roll of Strong Geotextile Material
- Tube of High-Strength 15 Min. Epoxy w/ Mixing Nozzle
- Extra Mixing Nozzle
- Scuff Prep Pad
- Alcohol Wipes
- Premium Ratchet Wrench
10 Solar Modules In 100 Minutes

IR AnchorSpike™ Mounting Kits
The IR AnchorSpike™ Kits include a set amount of specially designed barbed aluminum spikes and a super strong two part epoxy. The IR AnchorSpikes have a hollow structure with open barbs that allow the epoxy to flow deep into the soil and create a solid anchor rated for up to 1,000 pounds of uplift per spike. Once in place, each BallastRack frame is designed to clamp onto two AnchorSpikes when the carriage bolts at the ends are tightened, which allows for fast and easy leveling of the system.
*One AnchorSpike must be tested at the installation site to ensure it can withstand a minimum of 1,000 lbs of uplift.
*1" Conduit Pipe / EMT (NOT included) is required to link the frames together and can be sourced at any local hardware or electrical supply store in 10' lengths, which is enough to cover two panels.
