Introduction
EcoFoot5D
TM
is a 5-degree ballasted racking system designed to fit more modules on a roof, maximizing power
density. The modular design is built on the proven, industry-preferred, beautifully simple and fast-to-install
modular technology of the EcoFoot platform and sister product, E.
EcoFoot5D consists of five simple components. Installation is accomplished in six simple steps. Much of the
installation is tool-less.
EcoFoot5D Bases self-align, requiring only two chalk lines. The PV module installation automatically moves the
Bases into perfect placement. Inter-row ballast placement and easy-reach wire management provide superior
accessibility during and after installation.
Stackable Bases enable the transport of up to 290kW of Bases on 1 standard pallet, streamlining logistics. The
combined effect of simplicity, maximum density, and minimized shipping, storage and transporting costs results
in an ultra cost-effective racking solution.
