What types of erosion control could I use under a
solar array? I have a 10 panel setup and over this last spring runoff has washed away parts of my driveway. The property is located in the Arizona high desert in a Juniper Pine forest, no grasses, lots of large rock and clay. I'm considering installing a rain gutter under the panels and putting in a culvert to direct the
water under the driveway. I would prefer to harvest or use the water in some way but can't think of any real options. Run off is on the Eastern side so I would be concerned about planting anything that could shade the panels. I've included a photo to give you a general idea of what the area looks like. Unfortunately this is the best photo I have. It's old and doesn't show the area as completed but the run off is in this exact location.
