ECO-WORTHY Upgraded Solar Ground Mount Adjustable Multi-Pieces Solar Panel

Yep 4 panels and it is a sturdy design. I have had this up now for about a year on the south side of my property. They sufficiently angled that even with snow, there is not too much accumulation. I am very happy with the pruchase

Update 11/26/22: today I received a package with the missing parts from the seller. Exactly the most important parts that were missing arrived complete. I cut the zip ties and installed the panel clamps. The panels are now very well secured. Thanks to the great cooperation with the seller, these panels mounts are complete, and I now find them to be a 5 star product. They really are great panel mounts, a terrific value for the price and I highly recommend them. Original review: I bought three of these, and I find them to be great except for one thing, they have hardware missing. In everyone of the three boxes there was hardware missing. The missing bolts, washers and channel nuts are easily available at my local hardware store, and I bought enough to finish the assembly which was fairly easy. However, the end and mid panel clamps are not so easy to get, and are pretty unique to these mounts. I did reach out to the seller, and they said that they are sending the clamps, but they are coming from overseas (probably China) and it could take a long while. We are creeping into winter here and I cannot wait. I went ahead and used other bolts where I could, and used zip ties where they were missing, I just used white heavy duty zip ties to hold the panels in place until spring next year. One box had the whole bag of end and mid clamps missing. The others were missing the stainless steel clamp bolts and channel nuts. I used hex head bolts and my own channel nuts temporarily. I will be honest, these mounts are not bad, but beware that parts and hardware may be missing. If it is only the bolts and nuts, just buy them, they are inexpensive and easy to get. If you buy everything to build these from channel struts and hardware, they will cost much more. That is what makes these worth buying. These are stabile, sturdy and very versatile. As you can see I bolted them to deck blocks which allows me to move them if I need to. Yet they are heavy enough to keep them secure to the ground. These mounts can easily hold 5 of my 100 watt panels each, but I had to configure for 12 panels. Hence 3 mounts. I just cut off the ends to butt them up against each other. I can recommend these mounts for their versatility and great value. You can easily mount panels up to 250 watts, maybe more. Just be prepared to deal with missing hardware. If you get the mounts complete, you are getting a great deal. I give them 3 stars because of the missing hardware and the pain in the behind for the missing hardware.

I have the Ecoflow 220W biracial solar panels and I got this mount for my shed roof. The company must have listened to the complaints about the instructions, because they come with a multi-page color instruction with pictures. All the parts are bagged and labeled. Since my panels are thinner than normal rigid panels I need to ‘secure’ them to the rails on the bottom and top, so I had to do the following change: I installed the horizontal mount at the bottom of the rails and not at the ‘red line’. This allowed me the required 32” vertically where I could mount the top rail. Also, since the panels are only 72”, I put a third horizontal support with the extra pieces that I had. The instructions said to install them where you are going to install them, but I didn’t want to work in the full sun putting it together, so I put it together in my garage. It was easy for two people to lift it onto my one story shed. Finally, the bolts that they include to secure the support are concrete bolts. I ended up going to Home Depot and buying some galvanized Hex Bolts 3/8” x 5” (HD SKU 213058) to which I could use the supplied nuts. Now that it is installed – solid and functional – recommend!

I managed to catch this mount on sale and these are perhaps the least expensive ground mounts on Amazon. For the most part the setup was easy but a second set of hands would have helped, especially when mounting the 195W panels. This is an upgrade from their previous mount and it has an additional 3rd support leg in the center to prevent sagging from the weight of the panels. I also noted some of the mounting base holes were oriented slightly different than the original mounts that I had seen on review videos. I have previously used strut channel spring nuts for other solar mounts that I have built using U-channel (strut channel) and I found that Eco-worthy's 'twist and turn' mount nuts were fairly simple to use. I would personally prefer spring nuts for a 'single person install' because they do stay in place in the track a little better while attaching panel mounts. Note: you can interchange the normal strut spring nuts in these tracks if you need more or if you lose any of the propietary eco-worthy mounting nuts. Once assembled the mount is quite strong and easily supports my panels without sagging. I secured the mount to a 4x4 based frame with wheels using 3" lag bolts and washers, as well as I used 2.5" nuts and bolts where the base had to be attached to the 2x4 cross pieces (see the attached picture). I went with this setup because, I wanted a moveable mount that I could easily orientate to the morning, noon and late afternoon sun for maximum solar gain, as well as being able to move it for any yard work if needed. I will be adding concrete patio stones to the wooden base to help prevent possible tipping in the wind. This mount definitely is good for the price and my biggest complaint is that although they call it adjustable, once you set the tilt angle on the mount for your panels, you can not change it without without removing all the panels again and repositioning the legs. I might look at modding the rear legs at a later date to make them seasonally adjustable but for now I have them set at 45 degrees, which is a compromise between the best winter and summer tilt angle for my location. Overall, it reasonably good and inexpensive mounting system for just over a hundred dollars (watch for sales) and it can easily be beefed up with some additional cross bracing if you needed. It easily supports up to four 200W panels without sagging, however as I said earlier a helper is definitely an asset when mounting these larger and heavier panels. You might notice my panels are not quite level and I'll need a helper to support the panels while I get them a little straighter. Note: The picture with the power station was for testing the panels only. I have to give Eco-worthy 2 thumbs up because honestly I couldn't build this from parts I bought myself at this price.

I understand that there are two versions of this product, an old one and a new updated version. I have the new updated version. It still has problems. I've tried both Renogy and HQST brand 200 watt panels on this mounting system and the rails are about 6 inches too short to fit four panels of either brand. Also, these units cannot be free standing. They have to be bolted to something solid or the legs will just collapse because there is only a single bolt for the elbow pieces making them function like hinges that swing both directions. There is no amount of tightening that will make them hold the weight of 3 panels on the system (because it's 6 inches too short to hold the four as advertised). This wouldn't be a huge issue because it should be bolted to something anyway for winds but it also means that you can't change the tilt angle with the seasons unless you unbolt the mounts from the concrete slab or whatever it's anchored to and move the legs to the new location necessary to change the tilt and rebolt them. Even if you wanted to do this, you'd have to remove ALL the panels first, unbolt and partially disassemble the mounting racks to move them to the new inclination, put everything back together, drill new holes and install new anchors because with a new angle the legs are going to be in different locations, rebolt it to the ground, and then reinstall your panels. It would take hours. A lot of people install their panels on the ground instead of their roof so they can easily change the angle of the panels for winter / summer sun, but that's just not practical with this setup because it takes almost an entire disassembly and reassembly, it's simply not designed to change the tilt angle once it's assembled. I think advertising them as "adjustable" is a stretch, for all intents and purposes they are only "adjustable" for the initial installation. The description said the angle goes as low as 30 degrees, it actually goes to 28.5 if this matters to anybody. 20 degrees is actually better for my latitude so 28.5 is better. I contacted Eco-Worthy and asked if they have any rail extensions or some other solution so I don't have to send all four back, they responded with a couple of helpful options to make it work. I work with galvanized material a lot and the galvanization on these steel components looks weak to me. It looks like a thin spray of a zinc based paint. Only time will tell what the rust resistance really is. We get a lot of rain here so I would find out pretty quick. Lastly, the included instructions aren't entirely accurate. The book lists steps that aren't required because some of the pieces that show as not being assembled actually are. If you're good at reading ahead and visualizing the assembly this is actually a good thing, because it saves some aggravating steps, but if you're the type that needs to follow the exact recipe of instructions in exactly the order described you may struggle a bit. To summarize: this mounting system does not hold four 200 watt panels without modification, it is not adjustable after installation, the instructions aren't exactly correct, and the galvanization looks weak. However, this is priced as a budget item and it lives up to that expectation, and is a solid performer for this price range. Had it cost more my expectations would have been higher.
