When you think of installing a solar energy system on your home, rooftop solar is probably the first thing to come to mind. What you may not realize is that installing ground mount solar panels is just as easy and cost-effective. While rooftop solar arrays are the most common choice, there are many reasons to consider a ground mounted solar panel system as they cost the same as rooftop solar on a per-watt basis. If your property isn’t ideal for rooftop solar, installing a ground-mounted system can actually save you money in the long term. Rooftop solar arrays can be restricted by the characteristics of your roof. If your roof isn’t at the right angle, doesn’t face south, or has obstructions like chimneys or skylights, then your solar array will be less productive. On the other hand, ground mounted solar panels can be located precisely wherever the conditions are best. In addition, if your home uses a lot of electricity, your roof might not be big enough for a solar energy system that meets your electricity needs. In contrast, ground mounted solar systems can be sized to match your electricity consumption without the space restrictions of a rooftop system. We will work with you to determine if ground mount is an option for you, as well as assist you with landscaping the area should you choose.
