In 2020, Terrasmart worked on an 100-acre solar project in the town of Milo, Maine. Challenging site conditions included a deep frost line, high ground snow loads of 90 psf, and wind loads of 105 mph.

Our ground screw foundation and GLIDE Agile racking was selected for the site. Designed to work with tough soil conditions, the ground screws were able to penetrate the site’s 59” frost depth, increasing installation efficiency and mitigating the risk of frost heave. The GLIDE Agile’s install-friendly design also accommodated the modules’ 25-degree tilt angle, adjusted to a front panel clearance of 36” to allow for snow shedding.

The site currently produces 27.5 MW of clean energy to power 10,000 homes in Milo, saving Maine taxpayers up to $25mil in a period of 20 years.
