Tips for digging trenches under solar photovoltaic panels
This page covers the layout and digging of the trench for the underground wiring from the meter/distribution panel location on the house to PV panel array out in the yard. The PV system we decided on uses Enphase micro-inverters mounted at each PV panel to convert the DC generated by the PV panel into grid compatible 240 volt AC.

In this video, we'll walk you through the process of digging a trench for your solar array, ensuring a stable and efficient setup for your renewable energy system. Join us as we cover.
If I’d managed to get the trencher I want that would dig a 24” trench, this would have been a far, far shorter part of the project, and I really suggest finding a trencher that can go deep if you need to run conduit underground. Aim for 6-12” deeper than you need, and life should be easy.
Protect Your Solar Wires by Burying in Trench. I'm continuing my build of a Solar off-grid system. In this video I dig a trench for my solar wires. They need to get from the ground mount in.
Various options exist for anchoring ground mounted solar arrays. These include drilled shaft piles (also called micropiles or caissons), driven piles and helical piers or ground screws. Racking manufacturers generally specify the depth, diameter and spacing of the anchors based on the site conditions including soil type and environmental .
