A method ( 92 ) of supporting a solar energy collection unit ( 22, 54, 76 ) of a solar energy system ( 20, 52, 78 ) calls for redistributing ( 96 ) earth at a worksite ( 26 ) to form an elevated earthen structure ( 24 ) having a sun facing surface ( 28 ), compacting ( 102 ) the earthen structure ( 24 ), and arranging ( 106 ) the solar energy collection unit ( 22, 54, 76 ) upon the sun facing surface ( 28 ) of the earthen structure ( 24 ). The earthen structure ( 24 ) may include internal strengthening material ( 32 ) detached from the energy collection unit ( 22, 54, 76 ) and the earthen structure ( 24 ) may be encased in a binder material ( 34 ) for additional stability. Channels ( 48, 50 ) may be provided proximate the earthen structure ( 24 ) for fluid supply and release functions.
