Understanding Ground-Mounted
Solar Installations
A ground-mounted solar installation involves setting up a solar assembly on the ground rather than on a building’s roof. This type of setup is perfect for properties with ample land, such as farms, acreages, and other large residential or commercial spaces. Ground-mounted systems are often preferred for their flexibility in placement and ease of maintenance. They can be strategically positioned to capture the maximum amount of sunlight throughout the day, ensuring optimal energy production.
The Importance of a Solid Foundation for Ground-Mounted Solar Panels
The foundation of your ground-mounted solar panels is critical for ensuring the stability and durability of your installation. At Edmonton Screw Pile Pros, we advocate for the use of helical screw piles. These are steel shafts with helical plates that are turned into the ground, offering a robust and reliable foundation capable of withstanding various soil conditions and weather extremes.
Most ground-mounted solar panel systems come with screw piles, making them a convenient and efficient choice. Helical screw piles are particularly favored due to their straightforward installation process, minimal site disruption, and high load-bearing capacity.
Can Edmonton Screw Pile Pros Install The Piles that Come With The Solar Assembly?
Absolutely! Edmonton Screw Pile Pros can install the helical screw piles that accompany your solar kit. Our team has extensive experience with various solar racking systems that utilize standard-sized screw piles, typically with a pile shaft diameter of 2 7/8″ or 3 1/2″.
Every solar installation project is unique, and we are prepared to meet the specific needs of your kit. Whether you’re undertaking a small residential project or a larger commercial installation, our professionals ensure that the piles are installed with precision and security.
Rising Popularity of Ground-Mounted Solar Panel
Assemblies in Residential Settings
Ground-mounted solar panel assemblies are becoming increasingly popular among homeowners, especially those with ample space, such as farms and acreages. Here are some reasons why:
- Optimal Sun Exposure: Ground-mounted systems can be positioned to capture the maximum amount of sunlight, thereby enhancing energy production.
- Maintenance and Access: These systems are easier to maintain and access compared to roof-mounted installations, allowing for easier cleaning and repairs.
- Space Utilization: Properties with extensive land can use unused space for solar energy generation, transforming idle land into a productive energy source.
- Scalability: Ground-mounted systems offer the flexibility to scale up if energy needs grow in the future. Adding more panels is simpler when there is room to expand.
- Cooling Effect: Panels mounted on the ground tend to stay cooler compared to roof-mounted systems, potentially improving efficiency as high temperatures can reduce solar panel effectiveness.
