S-Rack Ground Mount Solar Racking
S-Rack designs and engineers solar racking systems, and has built a strong reputation for its ground mount and carport solutions across New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands. It’s known for reliable, well-engineered systems and a local team that’s quick to support installers on design and installation.
S-Rack ground mounts are designed with fewer components and need fewer tools to install, saving installers time on site and reducing material costs. They suit everything from rural properties through to larger commercial arrays, with site-specific engineering for challenging ground conditions.
Taspac supplies S-Rack ground mount systems to installers across New Zealand, backed by technical support from our teams in Auckland and Christchurch.
Frequently asked questions
Who supplies S-Rack in New Zealand?
Taspac Energy supplies S-Rack to solar installers and electricians across New Zealand, from our warehouses in Auckland and Christchurch. If you’re a farmer or property owner planning a ground mount system, ask your installer about S-Rack.
What is S-Rack?
S-Rack makes racking for ground mounted solar, the frames that hold solar panels on the ground instead of on a roof. S-Rack suits farms, lifestyle blocks and commercial sites with room for a ground mount array.
What racking should I use for ground mount solar on a farm?
Farm arrays need racking that copes with open, exposed paddocks and uneven ground. S-Rack’s Sigma range is designed for exactly that. Posts can be driven straight into the ground or concreted in, the system handles up to a 5° east–west slope, and tilt adjusts between 15° and 30°. Taspac Energy supplies S-Rack to installers across New Zealand.
Why use S-Rack engineered racking instead of timber?
A timber frame has to be worked out and built for each job, and over time timber can rot, warp or move, which puts your panels out of alignment. S-Rack is pre-engineered and certified, so there’s no structure to design, and it arrives as a kit your own team can install with standard tools. Hot-dip galvanised steel and a 10-year product warranty mean a consistent, certified result that lasts as long as the panels on it.
Is S-Rack suitable for New Zealand conditions?
Yes. The Sigma range is rated up to C5, a very high corrosion category. S-Rack’s online calculator, which installers use to prepare a quote, also includes New Zealand wind regions, so the site’s wind region is captured with the system details.
How is the S-Rack Sigma S1 installed?
The Sigma S1 has a high level of pre-assembly. The purlin clamps come pre-assembled on the girder, the module clamps have integrated earthing pins, and the girder fixes directly to the pile foundation with a single bolt. Installation uses standard, off-the-shelf tools.
What is the S-Rack Sigma S1 made from?
The Sigma S1’s steel parts are hot-dip galvanised, and its purlins are available in aluminium or steel.
