Onsite Energy - Bozeman, MT Three Forks Multi-Pole Solar Array written by Dianna Manetta, MREA When Leandra Hill of Three Forks, Montana, decided to install a solar energy system on her property – a former dairy farm – she discovered that her rooftop was just not appropriate for solar due to shading by large trees. Luckily, she learned, there was an alternative: a pole-mounted solar array. Ms. Hill’s recently-completed 15 kilowatt pole-mounted solar array is expected to provide 100% [...]

To show you just how quickly and easily they go together, we made a video of the installation: With traditional pole mounts, depending on the height of poles needed, it almost always has to be assembled on top of the pole using big ladders. This could be unsafe and [...]
Andrew Smith – South Dakota
Andrew Smith - South Dakota Homeowner Andrew Smith tells us about his experience installing a MT Solar Two-Pole Mount... I assembled it myself with the help of, at most, two other people. Even on a fairly steep slope, I was impressed by how well every piece fit together and the quality of workmanship. On a slope, assembling two halves of the structure worked well. It was a challenge to ensure that the two sub-arrays were perfectly parallel before I [...]
Collins Controls – Bellvue, CO
Collins Controls - Bellvue, CO This 24 module two-pole system had to be designed to withstand the harsh conditions of a snowy, lakeside lodge. It was engineered to be installed at 9000 ft, with 130 mph winds and 60 psf snow load. According to installer Doug Medina, the building and raising of the frame and array only took one long day. Being able to build evrything at waist level allowed the four guys on our crew to work [...]
