-- The new guide provides a direct comparison of how the earth anchor improves on traditional foundations for ground-mounted solar frames. Nuance Energy explains that many of the typical challenges - such as the need for ground excavation - are eliminated, which allows for panels to be installed much faster.

One of the biggest differences when using the Osprey PowerPlatform® technology is the ease of installation - primarily because there's no need for the typical heavy machinery. Earth anchors can be installed using handheld tools, which are more affordable, and allow for smaller teams to manage the project from start to finish.
The hot-dip galvanized earth anchors feature specialized penetrating teeth that bore directly into the ground, which means the area of installation doesn't need to be excavated prior to starting work. With a 1.5-inch diameter, they can be used even on more challenging terrains - installation teams can work effectively in areas with rocks, frozen ground, or other surface irregularities that typically pose challenges for conventional mounting systems.
The guide also explains that the Osprey PowerPlatform®'s earth anchor system also enables teams to install panels without geotechnical reports. Each anchor undergoes real-time testing during the installation process, with teams confirming proper seating through prescribed load testing.
Because of the smaller size and efficiency of installation, teams require less specialized training, with ground-mounted solar panel projects completed in hours rather than weeks. This reduction in labor requirements and project duration translates to significant cost savings for solar developers and installers, Nuance Energy explains.
The financial impact is particularly notable for larger installations: a 2MW ground-mounted solar system installed using the Osprey PowerPlatform® costs approximately $130,000 less than installations using traditional racking solutions.
A spokesperson states: "As the name suggests, earth anchors provide the requisite stability for holding ground-mounted solar racking systems in place. They perform the same function that concrete piers, steel piles, or helical screws do for traditional racking systems, but their benefits far surpass these methods."
