Erthos, an energy tech company that makes a mounting system that secures solar panels flat to the ground, signed an agreement with renewable energy developer Industrial Sun for a 100+ megawatt solar project in Texas. It will become the only utility-scale solar farm mounted flat on the ground to date.
Conventional solar mounting technologies typically require more than five acres of land per megawatt of capacity. But Erthos’s Solar PV only needs less than 2.5 acres per megawatt of capacity.
Erthos claims that a solar farm on its flat mounts can be built in half the time for half the cost of conventional mounting systems. It also says that it uses 70% less cable and needs 70% less trenching.
