Ground Mounted Solar Panels

Powering Sussex from the ground up

WHY CHOOSE Ground Mounted Solar Panels?

If your roof isn’t suitable for solar panels or you have a large property with spare land, ground mounted solar panels are a great alternative to rooftop installations.

A ground mounted solar system will cut your energy bills, earn you money from any surplus power, charge your electric vehicles and give you energy independence – all while being easier to maintain than rooftop solar panels, and giving you greater flexibility for expansion in the future.

The ground mounted solar panel advantage

  • Maximum energy production: Unlike roof-mounted systems that are limited by your roof’s angle, direction, and size, ground mounted panels can be positioned at the optimal angle and orientation to capture maximum sunlight all year round
  • Future-proof flexibility
    Need more power as your family grows or you switch to electric vehicles? Ground mounted systems can be easily expanded 
  • Hassle-free maintenance
    No more climbing on roofs or hiring specialists for cleaning. Ground mounted panels are easily accessible for routine maintenance, keeping your system running at peak efficiency with minimal effort

Is ground mounted solar right for you?

Ground mounted solar panels are ideal if you have:

  • Available land
  • High electricity usage
  • Roof issues: age, orientation, shading, or structural concerns
  • Plans for electric vehicles or heat pumps

You’ll need to consider:

  • Planning permission: Most ground mounted systems require approval – we guide you through the process
  • Grid connection: We manage all utility connections and export arrangements
  • Ongoing access: Ensuring maintenance access while preserving your landscape
