Ground-mounted arrays are especially popular for farms as they can benefit from the financial advantages that solar energy provides along with USDA grants. A key benefit for ground-mounted installations is that they can be placed in locations that receive maximum sun exposure which generates more energy and savings. Learn more about the benefits of ground mounts below.
- Ideal Angle: Ground-mounted systems can be both placed wherever there is the maximum sun exposure on your property and built at the ideal tilt/angle to generate the most energy and give you the most savings all year round
- Better Efficiency: Solar panels work best when kept cool and with ground-mounted systems, there is room below the panels to allow air to circulate freely around them which then allows them to perform at their peak efficiency levels
- Ease of Maintenance: Keeping solar panels free from dust and dirt will allow for premium performance and with ground-mounted solar panels they can be cleaned and serviced without anyone having to climb on the roof
- Future Expansion: There is usually no room to expand a rooftop mounted solar panel system once in place however a ground-mounted system can be expanded as much as you have room on your property.
