LANDOWNERS
Good land is a finite commodity. Trabant Solar's
Ballast Foundation does not require grading to be performed on land typically used for solar projects. This means that your land will retain its' natural contours and nutrient rich topsoil. The leading competitors use ramming post foundations, which are steel posts that are driven between 6 to 12 feet into the ground to serve as their tracker's foundation. Trabant Solar's
Ballast Foundation does not require these steel posts, because it sits on top of the soil.
After the end of the life of the solar project, it has to be decommissioned. Ramming posts can not be pulled out of the ground after 30 years. They have to be dug out, which is expensive and not always possible.
