The physical properties of different soil types significantly impact the planning and long-term stability of ground-mounted solar racking systems. Key soil properties include soil bearing capacity, soil drainage, soil composition and corrosion potential, and soil settlement and compaction. Soil bearing capacity is the ability of the soil to support the weight of the racking system and solar panels. Soils with low bearing capacity, such as loose sand or soft clay, may require special foundation designs, such as deeper footings or groun....
