Single Pole Ground System EDRI Solar

What is a standard ground mount solar system?

A standard ground mount solar is a type of ground solar installation that uses a metal A-frame set onto a concrete footing lying on the ground. These regular ground solar mounts usually cost less and are easier to install than pole mounted ground systems. However, they are less efficient at capturing sunlight than pole ground mounts.

How many solar panels can a single pole hold?

A single pole set on the ground can hold many solar panels. Pole gound mounts are usually equipped with sun tracking systems – devices that rotate the ground based modules so that they face the sun as it moves across the sky.

Are pole-mounted solar panels more efficient?

However, they are less efficient at capturing sunlight than pole ground mounts. Pole-mounted ground solar is a type of ground solar system where the panels are mounted on the top of or on the side of a pole fixed on the ground using a concrete base. A single pole set on the ground can hold many solar panels.

Should you consider a ground mount solar panel system?

So if you have some extra ground area in your backyard to spare, you should seriously consider a ground mount solar panel system. Photovoltaic modules placed on the ground are just as efficient as rooftop alternatives, so you don’t need to sacrifice your power output.

Is a ground base Solar System better than a shaded roof?

Another case when a ground base solar system can be a better option is a shaded roof. As you probably know, photovoltaic modules are most efficient under direct sun. Whenever a solar array is shaded, it significantly reduces the amount of electricity it generates.
