TerraSmart, a leading North American engineering design and manufacturer of solar photovoltaic racking and foundation solutions has been chosen for a 300kW solar ground mount array on Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the first solar ground mount on the United States Naval base. The TerraFarm ground mount array will be supporting approximately 1,100 Solar World panels on an old soccer field that will be feeding energy into a new aquatic center on the island. TerraSmart’s, TerraFarm ground mount array, was chosen for its revolutionary one source ground mount solution and time-saving advantages which will be installed in less than 30 minutes, and all the materials come from one supplier, eliminating sub-contractors and wasted labor time. The installation of the ground mount on the base is scheduled to begin mid-June. “More and more integrators are beginning to see the significant advantages TerraSmart brings to their organizations. It’s refreshing to see the U.S. Naval Base recognized a sound ground mount solution for the Army base.” says Brent Franks, Vice President of TerraSmart. ### About TerraSmart: TerraSmart, headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida, leads North America in solar racking engineering design and manufacturing with more than 30 years of experience in structural engineering and aluminum and steel fabrication.
