You have a lot of panels in your ground mount.

That is some serious S%&t! Did you birds mouth the rafters to the main crosspiece!!?? Are those unistrut mounted along top the 2x4 tube to clamp the panels to?
I lay claim to it as I am responsible for managing, maintaining, and operating the site with only one tech on site with me full time. The full site spans 2000 acres with 1500 of those used for panels. On good days we max out around 180 MW. Not sure I would want to physically "own" the site since I already work 10 and 12 hour days on the regular to keep the place running. While I have to maintain all the compliance with NERC, FERC, MISO, and Entergy, if I owned it I would actually have to do all the accounting and applying for tax credits and dealing with legal issues and such which would have me working 28 hr days 8 days a week.And he owns a lot of acres.
Hopefully no neighbors go rogue with a skid loder.

Here is a re-purposed Powerfab mount. I found it on CL a while back and my neighbor acquired 5 cheap Amazon special panels (i beleive he somehow got all 5 for $100 total, shipping goof up). The mount is definitely overkill for those panels, but he can change them out later if he wants a couple big panels. The bars are completely adjustable and its on 5.5" oilfield pipe. I ran 10/2 UF-B so its future proof for bigger panels too.

Heres a Tamarack High Wind 2 panel mount with a pair of Hyundai 365w. I bought a bunch of these when Tamarack decided to discontinue them. They are very strong and over built for extreme environments. The downside is they are kinda time consuming to adjust compared to most.
