Ground Mount Project
Ground mount solar panels are a solar solution that can be easily implemented in a large yard or field. The panels are similar to pole-mounted solar panels, but instead of being elevated on poles, they are installed directly on the ground.Poles support the ground-mounted panels, which are positioned for maximum sun absorption and have tracking options which will allow the panels to move with the sun. The poles can be varied lengths from a few inches to many feet so that you can mount them at different heights depending on the topography of the land.
There are a number of benefits for choosing ground mount solar panels in comparison to roof-mounted systems.
- You can install ground mount solar panels just about anywhere there is enough sunlight and available land.
- Roof-mounted systems have more limitations due to safety regulations and the architecture of the roof.
- Roof-mounted systems have limited space and when you need to perform maintenance on your roof, you will have to remove the solar panels to make the repairs.
- Roof-mounted systems are often less efficient. Increased airflow underneath ground-mounted panels allows the panels to stay cooler and convert energy more efficiently.
