Frequently asked questions

Do I need a foundation to set it on?

Not necessarily. If you use anchors like what has been provided and the soil is well compacted, it should be safe.

Each SolarPod

◌TM

Grid Tied requires a total of 2000 lbs of structural force to hold it up to 90 mph winds.

Do I need to anchor it so the wind won’t blow it over?

No. Place not less than 700 lbs of ballast weight on the SolarPod

◌TM

Grid Tied. Concrete blocks weighing this

amount will be sufficient. While placing please ensure the paint on the steel is not scratched for protection from

corrosion.

Do I need a ground rod for it?

The ground wire will be hooked along with the main panel. The ground lugs are provided on each SolarPod

◌TM

Grid Tied. Use the lug to connect to the ground rod. Ensure it is per local codes and AHJ.

Do I need to have a disconnect for it or is one on the unit.

The twist lock is also a disconnect mechanism.

Your circuit breaker will be a disconnect since the power out of the solar unit is AC.

If you wish to place an AC disconnect there is no harm.

Consult with local AHJ and also local skilled tradesman for placement of disconnects.

Where do I install the circuit breaker on the main panel.

For an installation with less than or equal to 4 SolarPod

◌TM

Grid Tied, the work required by the master electrician is

to isolate one 20A two pole breaker from your main panel. This breaker should not have any other circuit. This

20A two pole breaker should also be positioned at the opposite (load) end from the input feeder location or main

circuit location as described in NEC code 705.12(D)(7) (pg 70-606 of the NEC 2008 code book).

Each two pole 20A breaker can hold up to 4 SolarPods

in series.
