Integrarack IR EarthScrew Mounting Kit 10 Pack, 30-Inch Screws for BallastRack Frames, Solar Mounting Method for Dense Compacted Soil
SKU: IR-RFES3075
Product Summary
The IntegraRack IR EarthScrew Mounting Kit secures IntegraRack BallastRack frames into dense, compacted soil as a ground mount solar panel anchoring system. Each kit includes 10 high-strength screws measuring 30in. This is enough to mount five BallastRack solar racking frames or one row of four solar panels. The EarthScrews install without heavy equipment and allow for post-installation leveling, making them a practical anchoring option for residential, off-grid, or small commercial ground mount solar installations.
Specifications:
- 10x 30" EarthScrew ground anchors
- 1x 13mm ratchet wrench for BallastRack frame assembly
- Mounts five BallastRack frames

Simplify Solar Panel Anchoring With the IR EarthScrew Kit
Each IR EarthScrew Kit works with 5 BallastRack frames and includes 10 EarthScrews. This kit provides fast, easy, and durable installation in almost any terrain. We do NOT recommend the EarthScrew for silt, sand, or rocky terrain, only dense compacted soil types.
If your site has very dense soil, you may need to use an SDS hammer drill and a 30in SDS-Max Speed-X Carbide Rotary Hammer Bit designed for concrete drilling. If you’d like additional strength, you can pour concrete mix into the holes.
Important Notes:
IntegraRack recommends professional installation with the IR EarthScrew.
First verify that one EarthScrew can withstand at least 1,000lbs of uplift at the installation site, then install them.
The 1” conduit pipe that links the frames together is not included with the frames, but you can purchase it from a local hardware store.

Frequently Asked Questions About the IntegraRack IR EarthScrew Kit
The EarthScrew requires dense, compacted soil with less than 20in frost depth. IntegraRack does not recommend it for silty sand, soft soil, or rocky terrain.
One 10-pack kit anchors five BallastRack frames. Each frame requires two EarthScrews — one at each end. One kit supports one row of four solar panels.
No. A standard impact wrench drives the screws into the ground. For extremely dense soil, IntegraRack recommends pre-drilling holes using an SDS hammer drill with a 30" SDS-Max Speed-X carbide rotary hammer bit. Adding concrete mix to pre-drilled holes provides additional strength.
IntegraRack recommends professional installation for the EarthScrew Mounting Kit. Proper installation requires verifying soil conditions, testing uplift resistance, and correctly securing the BallastRack frames.
The EarthScrew drives directly into compacted soil and relies on mechanical grip for uplift resistance.
The AnchorSpike uses hollow barbed aluminum spikes with a two-part epoxy that flows into the soil to create a solid anchor. The AnchorSpike also requires pre-drilled holes and the epoxy components included in its kit.
