The Chiko USA GroundFlex U2V is a durable and versatile solar panel ground mount system designed for both concrete foundation and ground screw foundation installations. Made from high-performance, all-galvanized materials, this system ensures longevity with a service life of over 30 years.

Mounting Options

• Ground Screw Mount – Ideal for installations where excavation is limited or challenging. Requires specialized heavy equipment for installation.
• Concrete Foundation Option – A reliable, traditional option for securing the system on a concrete base.
• Trident Mount Kit – A ground mounting system with a patented three-cylinder pile design, offering strong support and adaptability for various soil conditions.
• High Wind Variation - Designed for those who live in windier areas or with an AHJ and require a mounting kit with higher wind tolerances 

Key Features

• Versatile Installation – Compatible with both framed and frameless PV modules and supports portrait configuration.
• Fixed 20° Tilt – Optimized for solar energy production.
• Universal Engineering – Designed to meet all building codes, local regulations, and environmental load requirements.
• Durable Materials – Hot-dip galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance.
• Fast and Efficient Assembly – Pre-cut and pre-drilled components for quick installation, reducing labor costs.

Mounting Benefits

Ground Screw Mount Option

• Quick Installation – Ground screws can be installed rapidly without the need for concrete curing time.
• Minimal Site Preparation – Ideal for locations with uneven terrain, reducing the need for grading and excavation.
• Heavy Equipment Required – Installation requires specialized machinery to drill and secure the ground screws.
• Strong and Secure Foundation – Provides excellent stability and resistance to uplift forces.

Concrete Foundation Option

• Reliable and Long-Lasting – Concrete foundations offer a solid and permanent support structure.
• Customizable to Site Conditions – Can be engineered to meet local soil and load requirements.
• Extended Installation Time – Requires excavation, formwork, and curing time for the concrete to set properly.
• No Specialized Machinery Needed – Unlike ground screw installations, concrete foundations do not require heavy drilling equipment.

Trident Mount Option

• Quick Installation – Works efficiently in various climates and soil conditions.
• Minimal Site Disturbance – Low environmental impact with a removable and reusable design.
• Adaptable to Slopes – Eliminates the need for costly excavation or drainage.
• Strong Structural Support – Engineered to handle both downward and uplift forces.

Shipping Information

• Custom shipping is available at an additional rate to businesses with the means to unload the ground mount off the truck (6-ton forklift with a minimum of 8' forks).
• No direct-to-consumer shipping.
• Not eligible for shipping discounts or coupons.

Additional Notes

• Professional Installation Recommended – Some mounting options, such as the ground screw system, require heavy equipment not provided with the kit.
• Regional Variations – The mounting system’s spans vary by location: approximately 9-foot spans in the Southwest and approximately 7-foot spans in the Midwest.
