Simplify Installation on Challenging Soil Conditions

ARRAY ATLAS™ II

Foundation Design Shouldn't Create Installation Complexity

Utility-scale solar projects built on rocky soils, shallow bedrock, high water tables, frost-prone regions, and other challenging site conditions often require alternative foundation technologies. Traditional solutions can increase hardware, add installation steps, and create additional coordination between foundation and tracker systems.

ARRAY Atlas™ II is a purpose-built foundation-to-tracker solution that combines APA’s proven helical pile and ground screw foundation technology with a native ARRAY tracker interface. Designed specifically for challenging soil conditions, Atlas II simplifies installation, reduces hardware complexity, and helps streamline project execution.

Why Choose ARRAY Atlas II?

Atlas II combines native foundation-to-tracker integration, a simplified tracker interface, and proven alternative foundation technology into one coordinated solution designed specifically for ARRAY tracker systems.

With Atlas II, you can:

  • Simplify installation: Native foundation-to-tracker integration replaces adapted interfaces with one coordinated solution, helping reduce installation complexity and improve project execution.
  • Reduce hardware and field assembly: Approximately 70% fewer tracker interface components, elimination of the 90° side bracket, and a simplified bearing-to-interface connection with 2 fasteners instead of 6 help reduce field assembly and installation labor.
  • Build with confidence on challenging sites: APA’s proven helical pile and ground screw foundation technologies help address pile refusal, shallow embedment, frost heave, and subsurface soil uncertainty.
  • Maintain one common tracker platform: The common Atlas bearing platform provides one common tracker interface across the Atlas Suite, allowing different foundation technologies to be used without changing the tracker platform.

Designed for Challenging Utility-Scale Solar Projects

 

Atlas II is well suited for:

  • Utility-scale solar projects with challenging soil conditions.
  • Sites requiring helical pile or ground screw foundation technology.
  • Projects seeking to simplify foundation-to-tracker installation.
  • Developers and EPCs looking to reduce installation complexity and improve project execution on difficult sites.

Built on APA’s proven alternative foundation technology and purpose-engineered for ARRAY tracker systems, Atlas II provides an integrated foundation-to-tracker solution that helps simplify installation while expanding project viability across challenging site conditions.
