Solar Ground Mounts

A solar panel ground mount provides a flexible alternative to rooftop installations by allowing you to set the exact azimuth and tilt angle for your array, typically oriented true south at 25 to 35 degrees in the Northern Hemisphere to maximize annual energy harvest. 

Unlike roof-constrained systems, ground-mounted solar panels benefit from increased airflow beneath the modules, which reduces cell operating temperature and can improve voltage output by 10% to 25% compared to flush-mounted rooftop arrays. This ground-mounted solar collection includes 46 systems from IntegraRack, Solar Rackworks, and EG4, built with 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel hardware. 

Options range from ballast-weighted frames rated for 150 mph wind resistance and 100 psf snow loads to adjustable-tilt solar panel ground mount stands and two-tier stacking configurations that double your array density in limited space. Multiple anchoring methods are available, including earth screws, anchor spikes, and concrete bolt-down kits.

Factors to Consider When Choosing the Right Solar Ground Mounts

• Maximize Production with Optimal Positioning: A solar panel ground mount lets you install your solar array in the ideal spot with optimal sun exposure, avoiding shading from trees or buildings. With adjustable tilt legs and precise alignment, you can optimize your solar system for seasonal changes, ensuring peak performance year-round.

• Versatile Mounting Options: We offer a variety of mount options to suit different soil types and weather conditions. From the IronRidge ground mount system that utilizes concrete piers to the IntegraRack IR series compatible with ground screw anchors, our selection ensures a secure foundation. For areas where ground penetration isn't possible, the BallastRack™ provides a stable, non-invasive solution.

• Scalability and Ease of Installation: Whether you are planning a small DIY project or a large 10-panel array, our ground mount solar racking is modular and easy to expand. Mounting solar panels on the ground simplifies the installation process and future maintenance, as panels are easily accessible without climbing a roof.

• Durability for Harsh Environments: Built with UV-stabilized components and corrosion-resistant hardware, our solar ground mounts are engineered for long-term performance. Features like extra support braces and heavy-duty top caps ensure your solar module investment is protected against the elements.

• Customizable Configurations: Our shop ground mount selection includes low-profile designs for minimal visual impact and adjustable solar panel racks for maximum efficiency. You can configure your rack in landscape orientation or portrait to fit your available space and specific energy requirements.
