1-in-Portrait
The Modular 1-in portrait system, available as a single post or twin post, optimises limited space with a low-profile design, making it ideal for height-restricted areas. Its vertical layout improves aesthetics and efficiency on narrow plots, while its simplified configuration helps reduce installation costs.

MODULAR FOUNDATION OPTIONS
Solarport offers a range of foundation solutions tailored to different terrains and ground conditions. Designed for maximum safety and stability, Solarport’s foundations ensure reliable PV system performance—even on the most challenging sites.
Driven Pile
The most commonly used foundation, the driven pile, can be used for most projects. The pile profile and length will be specifically designed to increase the efficiency and strength of the foundation. For sites with a shorter embedment, our Concreted Pile is an alternative solution. By combining augering and concrete pouring, this foundation ensures a stable base without the need for deep excavation.
X-Anchor
With the use of only hand tools, our patented ‘X-Anchor’ allows for solar installation on reclaimed ground such as a former landfill, or any site that needs shallow embedment and/or no heavy machinery.
Ballasted
No breaking ground with our ballast system/ Options include the use of high-density concrete blocks, railway sleepers and pre-cast concrete mono-block.
Screw Pile
This foundation provides a fast and efficient installation method for ground with a high clay content. Its durability and adaptability make it an ideal solution for a broad range of small to medium-sized projects.
Direct Fix
Direct Fix is an anchor bolt solution that is installed into concrete blocks. These solutions are often used in areas when deep embedment is not permitted, the concrete foundation already exists, or in areas prone to flooding.
