Temporary Roadway and Laydown Area Flooring for Solar Sites
A firm, drivable surface over mud, sand, and uneven ground, set up by hand with no special tools.
On a solar site, crews and equipment need solid ground everywhere: on the roads in, in the laydown yard, in storage areas, and between blocks. When the ground turns to mud, trucks get stuck, equipment sinks, and work slows down. PVpallet’s I-Trac™ 2 is a heavy-duty interlocking panel system that works as a temporary roadway, laydown area flooring, storage flooring, or a stable pathway for block construction. It creates a solid surface over almost any terrain, so your site stays usable from delivery to commissioning.
Ground Protection Built for Heavy-Duty Work
This interlocking panel system was built for some of the toughest ground conditions in the world. The panels lock together on all sides into one continuous mat with no straight seams running through it. That lets the mat carry trucks and heavy static loads while flexing enough to follow uneven ground. At about 24 lb per panel, it’s light enough to carry by hand, so it’s fast to lay and easy to handle.
Five Problems This Flooring Solves on Solar Sites
Mud and soft ground
Rain turns a dirt laydown yard into a project delay. Laydown area flooring gives trucks a firm surface to drive on and a firm base for staging equipment, so you’re not getting stuck in mud, sand, or soft soil.
Slow, heavy setup
Traditional heavy mats need equipment to place them. These panels are carried by hand and connect with a built-in connector. No special tools. One person can lay up to about 1,076 sq ft per hour.
Odd-shaped sites
Panels connect on every side, so you can angle and shape the layout to fit your site’s footprint. Panels can also be cut two ways for clean square or rectangular edges.
Rutted, damaged ground
Heavy trucks and equipment tear up unprotected ground. Laydown area flooring spreads the load across one continuous mat, which helps prevent ruts under traffic and staged equipment.
Single-use waste
The flooring is reusable from project to project and fully recyclable at end of life. That makes it a good fit for teams already moving to reusable packaging.
Laydown Area Flooring Key Benefits
Heavy-duty performance: Built for cars, commercial trucks, and heavy static loads.
Lightweight panels: About 24 lb per panel, carried and placed by hand.
Fast, tool-free install: The built-in connector locks panels together by hand.
Fits your site: Connects on all sides, can be angled, and can be cut to size.
Follows uneven ground: Panels flex at the joints so the surface stays even where the ground isn’t.
Chemical-resistant and insulating: Resists most chemicals and offers a good level of electrical insulation.
Accessory-ready: Accepts accessories such as ramps and pallet feet.
Reusable and recyclable: Built for repeated use across projects and fully recyclable at end of life.
Proven in the Field
This flooring system has been deployed around the world wherever heavy equipment has to work on ground that can’t support it on its own.
Wind and renewable energy
Wind farm projects use it as trackway to carry heavy crane machinery and to reach the most remote parts of a site.
Construction access and crane support
Contractors lay it as access roads for heavy machinery and steady traffic, and leave it down for the length of the contract. It’s also used to support cranes on unstable ground, where stability matters most.
Military and aviation
It’s used to park aircraft on soft or inhospitable ground and as a lighter, air-portable alternative to metal airfield matting. Military operations also use it as a base for vehicle workshops, medical centers, and fuel and machinery storage.
Stadiums and large events
Event crews use it for temporary access roads that carry heavy supply vehicles. It’s also laid as drivable ground protection that spreads the weight of stages, lighting rigs, and crowds at concerts and stadiums.

How Solar Teams Use It on Site
Laydown yards and staging areas
Create a stable, organized surface for unloading and staging modules, racking, and BOS equipment. Pair it with PVpallet BOS Bulk Bins for a laydown area that stays clean, organized, and easy to work in.
Temporary roadways
Build a drivable temporary roadway across soft ground so trucks and equipment can move between the site entrance, laydown yard, storage areas, and blocks.
Pathways for block construction
Give crews and equipment a more stable pathway through blocks during construction, plus firm footing around trailers, offices, and equipment in wet or muddy conditions.
Onsite storage and conex pads
Set conex containers and stored equipment on a firm base so they don’t sink into mud or soft ground over the life of the project.
Industrial tent storage floors
Lay it as the floor of an industrial storage tent to keep stored equipment and materials off wet ground and give crews a solid surface to work on.
