Just finished building our new ground mounted solar array. Our previous ground mount was supposed to be temporary so this has been a long time coming.
Done a walkthrough on our YT channel but our set-up now includes:
*10 410w Canadian Solar Panels and 2 VTAC panels
*Luxpower Tek 12K hybrid inverter
*25kw of battery storage using 2x Fogstar 5kw server racks and a 15kw Fogstar Home Solar Battery.
We are at the start of our off grid journey here in Southern Bulgaria where we moved to from England. Our progress can seem slow as we are financing projects month to month and completing all the work ourselves. We currently live in a caravan on our land and are about to rebuild our barn into a tiny home before starting our big project of building our house - which we hope to be straw bale.
We are currently building our geodesic dome greenhouse so that we can start our planting journey this year also!

I did my tilting arrays somewhat differently. I used single-pole mounts, so that the arrays could be adjusted for both azumuth, and declination. I can rotate the mounts East to West over the course of the day to maximize output, and I can also adjust the angle of the panels seasonally for summer/winter exposure. Here are some pics of my arrays, made mostly out of easy to obtain steel unistruts.
