Ground Mount Systems

A Solar Ground Mount System is a solar panel installation solution that is designed to be mounted on the ground, typically using a metal frame or rack. Unlike roof-mounted solar panels, ground-mounted systems are placed directly on the earth, and the panels are tilted towards the sun for optimal energy production. These systems are ideal for properties with ample land and are often used for large-scale solar power generation.

Benefits of Solar Ground Mount Systems

Process of Installing a Solar Ground Mount System

Site Assessment and Design: The process begins with a thorough site assessment to determine the most suitable location for the ground-mounted solar system. Factors such as land size, sunlight exposure, and potential obstructions are evaluated. A customized system design is then created based on these considerations, ensuring optimal solar panel performance.
Permitting and Approval: Before installation, necessary permits must be obtained from local authorities. This typically involves submitting a design plan for approval, as well as ensuring compliance with zoning regulations, land-use laws, and electrical codes.
Foundation Installation: The next step is to install the foundation for the ground-mounted system. This often involves using posts or concrete pads to secure the racks that will hold the solar panels. The foundation ensures that the system remains stable and capable of withstanding various weather conditions.
Mounting the Solar Panels: Once the foundation is in place, the solar panel mounting frames are installed. The solar panels are then mounted onto these frames at the optimal angle to maximize exposure to the sun. This phase requires careful alignment to ensure the panels are positioned correctly.
Electrical Wiring and Connection: The wiring for the system is then connected, linking the solar panels to the inverter and battery storage system (if applicable). The electrical components are tested to ensure proper functionality and that the system is safely connected to the grid or standalone as an off-grid solution.
System Testing and Commissioning: After all components are in place and connected, the system is thoroughly tested. This includes ensuring that the panels are generating electricity, the inverter is converting power efficiently, and that everything is functioning as expected. Once everything is confirmed to be operational, the system is commissioned and ready for use.
Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance: After installation, ongoing monitoring of the system ensures that it continues to operate at peak performance. Regular maintenance and cleaning are recommended to remove dirt or debris that may reduce the system’s efficiency.

FAQs

Which area is suitable for installing ground-mount solar systems?

The ideal space for ground-mount solar system installations is flat or with a gentle slope up north. The area should be free from shading caused by any trees nearby and if possible, should be situated near an existing electrical structure.

What kind of ground conditions support ground-mount solar?

The ground or soil should neither be too soft or too hard as in such cases some extra reinforcements could be required (concrete or drilling).

Are ground-mount solar systems suitable for farmlands?

We often find that farmers have high electricity consumption but don’t have enough space on their roof for a big solar system, which is why ground-mount solar can indeed be an excellent source of green energy for them. We can also help landowners install solar farms to either use locally or to supply electricity to the NEM spot market.
