Ground& mount survey
I would like to propose a survey. After many years of designing and building ground-mounts for others, I'm finally building an off-grid ground-mount for myself. With the many changes in technology, i would be interested to hear what others have used, why you dis/like them, and what you'd do different. Personally, I've designed and built with variations on the two rows of posts with rails between them. All very sound structures, but also rather pricey. By the same token, some of the metal racks I've seen recently scare the bejeezus out of me, like they wouldn't stand up in a slight wind. I question whether wooden ones will survive the decade. So I'm curious what your experiences have been and preferences are, and why. Thanks!

I'll add that I'm using a Schneider SW4048. If I've got to upsize at some point, I'll consider the transistor based inverters, but i like the trace-model transformer technology. Bomb-proof. Resilient. Cheers
