When it comes to installing a solar PV system at your home or business, you have several decisions to make. One of the primary considerations is where you will install your solar panels.
If you have plenty of open space and a slightly higher budget, a ground-mounted solar PV system just might be the right choice for you.
Here are some benefits to look into if you’re considering opting for a ground-mounted solar PV system.
1. Installation and Design Flexibility
Installing a ground-mounted solar PV system can provide flexibility to increase solar power output. One of the main benefits of ground-mounted solar panels is that they can be placed on open land, ensuring optimal sun exposure throughout the day.
It allows us to design solar energy systems with the ideal orientation and angle to maximize the solar power rating, resulting in increased energy production.
2. Opportunity to Expand
If you have the space, you can easily expand ground-mounted solar panels and not worry about having a smaller area on your roof for solar panels. Provided you have areas on the ground free from obstructions like trees that can cast shadows over the panels, you might get more efficient use from your solar panels. It’s estimated that solar trackers can produce from 10% to 45% more electricity than fixed-tilt panels.
3. Cooling Effect
One significant advantage of ground-mounted solar panels is their ability to maintain a lower temperature compared to rooftop installations. As the panels are installed at a greater distance from the ground, air can easily circulate around them.
This natural airflow leads to more effective cooling, which is crucial for solar panel performance. High temperatures can cause a decrease in solar panel efficiency, so the ability to dissipate heat helps to maintain optimal energy production.
4. Easier Maintenance
A ground-mounted solar panel system also means you don’t have to climb on your roof to do maintenance. It’s easier to check the components, like an inverter, of a ground-mounted system.
Going for a ground-mounted solar PV system has its own pros and cons, depending on your lifestyle, energy needs, resources, and overall preference. Each energy system has its own unique aspects, and we are here to help you evaluate various scenarios.
We can provide customized solar PV systems to maximize the use of available space and enhance potential energy production.
