Ground-Mounted Solar
- SOLAR GROUND MOUNTS
What are solar ground mounts?
Solar ground mounts are solar panel systems installed on the ground rather than on a roof. These systems use sturdy racks to hold the solar panels at an optimal angle for maximum sun exposure. Ground-mounted systems are highly versatile, making them ideal for properties with ample land space or where roof conditions are not suitable for solar panel installation. They can be installed in various configurations to optimize energy production and are often easier to maintain and clean compared to rooftop systems.
- WHY GROUND-MOUNTED SOLAR
Why should I consider a ground-mounted solar system?
Installing a ground-mount solar system offers several advantages, especially for homeowners with large yards or unobstructed land. These systems can be positioned for optimal sunlight exposure, often resulting in higher energy production compared to rooftop installations. Ground mounts also avoid potential issues with roof shading, structural limitations, or orientation. Additionally, they provide flexibility in design and scalability, allowing homeowners to expand their solar capacity as needed. For those with roofs that are not suitable for solar panels due to age, shading, or structural concerns, ground mounts present a perfect alternative.
- ENERGY PRODUCTION
What if my ground-mounted solar system generates too much electricity?
If your ground-mounted solar system generates more electricity than you consume, you can take advantage of net metering policies. Net metering allows homeowners to send excess electricity back to the grid, effectively earning credits that can offset future utility bills. This means you can achieve significant savings and possibly eliminate your electric bill altogether. In some cases, surplus energy can even generate income if your utility provider offers a buy-back program. This ensures that none of the energy produced by your solar system goes to waste, maximizing your investment’s return.
- SOLAR COSTS
Are ground mount systems expensive to install?
While ground-mounted solar systems can have higher initial installation costs compared to rooftop systems, they offer unique benefits that can justify the investment. The costs can vary depending on factors such as the type of mounting system, site preparation, and the complexity of the installation. However, ground mounts often result in higher energy production, leading to greater long-term savings on energy bills. Additionally, they provide easier access for maintenance and potential future expansions. When considering the durability, efficiency, and potential financial incentives available, ground-mounted systems can be a cost-effective solution for many homeowners.

“We have been so pleased with our solar installation. Butterfly did a great job handling everything design through construction and has maintained contact…”
Chuck N.
“We’ve had the system for a year now and are really happy with it and would recommend Butterfly to anyone looking at going solar!”
Joe H.
“Every time we had questions – and one small issue the day after our installation – Michael responded immediately and helpfully, and has continued to follow up after the install with updates and to check if we have any questions.”

“Our installed system is producing right in line with the estimates Butterfly gave us, which gives us more than enough power for our home… Purchasing a solar system can be a complicated, confusing process, but Michael made it simple. We’re so glad we went solar; our wallet and the planet both benefit in equal measure!”
