Specialised
We build one thing: ground-mounting solar frames for utility-scale arrays. Every detail of the system is engineered around that single discipline.
Solar Mounting Systems designs and manufactures ground-mounted racking for utility-scale solar across Australia, the Middle East, Africa and the Pacific. 8 parts. 2 bolt sizes. Engineered to AS1170.2 by Australians, for Australian conditions.

From a single inquiry for heavy channel in 2012 to a patented eight-part ground-mount with thirteen completed utility-scale projects.
Section · 03 — Principles
Our ground-mount carries fewer parts than anything else on the market — and that's the point. Less hardware. Faster installs. Higher specifications. Australian-made tonnage.

Cold-formed Australian steel, designed and manufactured here. Higher specifications than the imported alternative — and ready when you need it.
We work side-by-side with the EPC and the engineer of record to tune the frame to the site — soil, wind, flood, salt, slope.
Full compliance to AS1170.2 for wind loading. Every frame stamped, every assumption documented, every connection verified.
Section · 04 — Index of Work
Section · 05 — Origin
In 2012, Harvey Bennett was approached by an EPC contractor looking for heavy channel for pile-mounted tracking systems. There wasn't an Australian product that fit. So Harvey went looking for one — and when he couldn't find it, he set out to make it.
By 2017, working with Anthony Anderson, that thinking had become a patented ground-mount: 8 parts. 2 bolt sizes. Simpler installs, faster site times, fewer ways for things to go wrong.
Today, that same system is on sites from the shadow of Uluru to the rocky flood plains of New Zealand.
