What Are Ground-Mounted Solar Panels?
Ground-mounted solar panels are exactly as they sound. Instead of being placed on a rooftop, these solar panels are supported by posts in the ground. This type of solar installation is ideal for people with ample land or for those with a roof that does not get ample sunlight.
Pros And Cons Of Ground-Mounted Solar Panels In Florida
Ground-mounted solar panels are not that common in Florida, and for good reason. The sandy, loose soil in most areas makes securing posts difficult. The amount of concrete needed can easily add thousands of dollars in project costs and make the payback period much longer.
Pros Of Ground Mount Solar Panels
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Can be angled perfectly to maximize sun exposure
- Added air flow cools panels and can improve performance
- No need to drill holes in your roof
Pros Of Ground Mount Solar Panels
- System wiring will need to be trenched in the ground, which adds to costs
- Large amount of concrete needed to secure posts
- Increase risk of damage - fallen debris, wind, etc.
- Less likely to survive a hurricane - panels mounted flush to a roof are less susceptible to wind loads
- Require a lot of space - not ideal for backyards
