Ground Mounted Solar Panels

Solar energy is one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly sources of renewable energy, and its use is growing globally. To take full advantage of this resource, it is important to understand the different options for installing solar cells. While ceiling installation has long been the standard, ground installation offers a growing and often superior solution in certain conditions.
Installing solar cells is a central part of the transition to renewable energy, and there are several methods to accomplish this. Ground installation is an excellent option, especially when the roof does not offer the best solution.This may be because the roof is in poor condition and cannot support the weight of solar panels, or its structure and slope is not ideal for maximum solar radiation. For some, it may also be a matter of aesthetics; solar panels on the roof may not harmonize well with the appearance of the building.In addition, when the need for energy production exceeds the capacity of the roof, ground installation provides the opportunity to expand the solar energy system without the limitations of a roof. This makes ground installation a flexible and practical option for those who want to maximize their investment in solar energy while meeting their specific needs and requirements.

Optimal angle

By installing solar cells on the ground, you are not limited by either the size or the slope of your roof, but you can always choose the optimal slope and direction. In Sweden, the optimal installation is at a 35–45 degree slope in a southern direction.

Easy to scale up

By installing ground-mounted solar cells, you have the opportunity to easily expand your solar cell plant and thus grow with your consumption.

Easy to maintain

By installing solar cells on the ground, it becomes easy to maintain the panels, which means removing any snow or pollen from the solar cells to maximize the production of your solar cells.

How to install solar panels on the ground?

A scaffolding is installed on the ground, usually a scaffolding made of aluminium, which, depending on the system, is anchored with root pipes or screw foundations. The most common is to install the solar panels in two rows on top of each other. You need to bury the cable from the solar cell installation to a technical room or to the grid connection point.

Other things to consider for ground-mounted solar cells

  1. Selection of Location: Choose a location with good exposure to the sun, minimal shading and sufficient space. The site should be relatively flat to facilitate installation and maintenance.
  2. Checking Regulations and Permits: Before starting installation, check local building codes and apply for necessary permits. It is important to follow all local guidelines and regulations.
  3. System Design and Foundation: Design the solar energy system based on your energy needs and prepare a stable foundation for the panels. It may involve building a metal frame or pouring concrete foundations.
  4. Installation of Panels and Electrical Connections: Mount the solar panels on the prepared structure and make the necessary electrical connections, including connection to an inverter and your home network.
  5. Inspection and Maintenance: After installation is complete, perform an inspection to ensure everything is installed correctly. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the panels is important to maintain the efficiency of the system.
Ground mounting solar panels offer flexibility in design and can often be adjusted to maximize solar radiation, making them an efficient option for energy production.Ground installation of solar cells has the unique advantage that they can be adapted very specifically to maximize the solar radiation. Unlike roof-mounted solar cells, ground-mounted panels can be placed and angled optimally towards the sun. This means they can be positioned to capture the maximum amount of sunlight throughout the day and in different seasons, increasing overall energy production.
