How to choose a ground screw that’s right for you

There are a number of things to consider when deciding which ground screw is right for you. The first aspect you should pay attention to is the terrain, especially its inclination and the type of soil. Ground screws are often made for different environments so you want to be sure that your choice is appropriate. The same rule applies to their function as they are often made for different purposes. For instance, a carport may require post screws, while solar panels require adapter screws. As these are important products in a highly technical area, one should always seek professional advice and recommendations before making a final decision.
