Ground Mounted Solar Power Plant

Do you think your rooftop is the only place to install a solar plant? Think again!With technological advancement, it is possible to install solar systems in various areas. A barren ground is one common place to install a ground mounted solar power plant and produce solar power with high efficiency.So, if you own a commercial business and have an open space, you can set up your solar power generation system to meet your power requirements or connect it to the utility grid.But what are the types of ground mount solar panels, and how do they function? Don’t worry! Through this blog, we will clarify all your doubts.Let’s first look at the functions of these panels.The efficiency of a Ground Mounted Solar Power PlantYou would be amazed to know that a ground-mounted solar system generates more units of electricity than a rooftop system, even when they get equal sunlight. Want to know the reason behind this?Well, for rooftop solar panels, the mounting structure is fixed. Therefore, it captures sunlight according to the sun’s position.However, in ground-mounted panels, you construct the structure carefully with a tilt angle and orientation to maximize sunlight exposure.In addition, you can also add a solar tracking device to this system to angle the panels towards the sun. Solar trackers move the panels so that they’re always perpendicular to the Sun. Hence, the efficiency is very high.
