MPM-G2 Foundations

MPM - Load Sharing – Why is it beneficial?

Reduced Foundation Size

Load is spread over multiple pipes/piers

More Pipes/Piers = Less Load Per Pipe/Pier

Foundation Size is also Related to Site and Install Criteria

Cheaper Pipe/Labor:

Smaller Pipe Sizes Used

Pipe Usually Sold by Weight

Smaller Pipe More Available than Larger Pipe

Smaller Pipe/Piers = Less Labor

Increased Ground Clearance

Load Sharing allows for Taller Installs

Can used as a Shade Structure

MPM-G2 - Technical Discussion

How Do the Different Design Criteria Relate? Ground Snow Load vs. Ground Clearance vs. Max Tilt Angle

Ground Clearance

Affects Overall Height of System

Taller Systems require Stronger Pipe and Bigger Foundations

Can be used to Elevate rack above Snow Accumulation

Max Tilt Angle

Steeper Tilts Increase Snow Slough Value

Must Have Ground Clearance Above Snow Levels

Steeper Tilts are Affected by the Elements More Severely

MPM-G2 - Technical Discussion

Relationships Between Criteria

MPM4 is Unavailable in Excessive Conditions

High Snow Loads and Low Ground Clearances

High Wind Speeds and Snow Loads

Low Tilt Angles and High Snow Loads

Pier Frequency

More Piers in Excessive Conditions

Excessive Wind/Snow Require More to Support Rack

High Wind Speeds = More Pressure

Square Footage of Array Requires More Support
