Hey all,
I'm about to build a ground mount for my solar array, and I need ~333' of 3" sched 40 steel pipe. It's significantly cheaper to get non-galvanized steel (like, nearly half the price). I'm trying to figure out if I can avoid paying the 2x cost for galvanized steel.
Is this a non-starter? Could you spray paint non-galvanized pipe with something to protect it for cheaper rather than getting galvanized steel?
