The mount

Any panel.
Any angle.

Lawn Lizard is one adjustable A-frame standing on earth anchors. The rails clamp standard framed modules, the rear leg sets the tilt, and the whole thing goes into the ground with a drill instead of a concrete pour.

One installed array on a real site. Wide, low sun, open sky behind the frame, a person or a drill in shot for scale.

Install sequence

Position, drill, mount, set.

The same four moves on every site. Two people, hand tools and a drill, and nothing on the schedule waiting for concrete to cure.

    Two people setting out the frame line on site. String or marking paint on the ground, nothing driven yet.

    Position the frame

    Walk the run first and put the frame where the sun actually reaches it. Mark the footprint on the ground, square it up, and check the line for anything that shades it in December.

    An earth anchor going in. Hands and the drill in frame, the helix half buried, soil disturbed around it.

    Drill the anchors

    Every leg lands on an earth anchor that turns into the ground on a standard drill. No excavation, no forms, and nothing sitting there curing while the panels wait in the garage.

    The A-frame bolted to its anchor plates with the rails on and no modules yet. Shot low, so the frame reads against the sky.

    Mount the rails

    The frame bolts down to the anchor plates and the rails go on top of it. The clamps take standard framed modules, so whatever you already own or were quoted last week goes straight up.

    Someone at the rear leg setting the angle with the modules already clamped on. Hands on the hardware, wrench in shot.

    Set the tilt

    Bolt the rear leg at the angle your site wants, torque the clamps down, and the array is standing. Come back and move it whenever the season or the shade around you changes.

Adjustable tilt

The angle is a setting, not a weld.

Most ground mounts leave the factory at one pitch, and that is the pitch you live with. Here the rear leg carries the whole panel plane through its range, so a single frame covers a shallow summer angle and a steep winter one. Set it at install, change it when the shade around you changes.
