Preparing and setting first strut channel

Clear large rocks from the streambed to make it easier to install the strut channel.
Place cleared rocks downstream so they do not damage the node during a storm.
Set 5 ft steel strut channel into place.
Ensure the open side of the strut channel faces south so that the solar panel receives maximum sunlight! Addtionally, be careful not to deform the steel strut channel too much. A bit of deformation is okay.
Use the post pounder to drive the strut channel 3 ft into the stream bed.
