My 44kW vertical and bifacial set in Finland plus now 15kW roof mounted too.

Wow! Thanks to share.
Sure, wind can put extremes pressure on large flat surface like that.

It was first +400kWh day today. 400,4kWh exactly and looking from production curves it was far from being perfect. I'd say some 30-50kWh was still missing. Sadly spot prices were low (Sunday, high winds after early morning and sunny), even negative at some point so had to be creative to use as much electricity as possible. Still ended up selling ~110kWh.

Lastly I tightened SS band around that split post (no picture) and decided to make one for every post and also add alu/SS caps on top of them too. I think the whole problem is probably water getting inside post and freezing because I didn't use end caps like they do with telephone/electric posts here.

That observation should help many here. And don't be too hard on yourself - I don't think I would have thought of the caps of the band either (but they're a great idea). Glad the damage was not too bad, and manageable.

That's the whole point and I'll post same story to "Post your Ground Mount Setup"-topic so that as many as possible will see my fault(s) so they can do things better in the first time. I just don't have time to do it now.

Got 416kWh today. Not perfect day but closer than day before.
