What is Ground-Mount Solar?

Ground Mount Solar is a form of solar PV where panels are installed on frames, fixed directly into the ground, rather than onto a structure or a building. 

This approach allows for greater flexibility in system size, layout, and performance. For businesses with spare OR available land, it’s often the most effective way of deploying solar power generators at scale.
