Production from a dual axis solar tracker will be at least 140 higher than roof mounted solar panels.
Ground mounted solar panels with tracking capabilities.
Ground mounted solar systems essentially all work the same systems anchor to the ground and hold a large number of stacked panels often two but sometimes three or four panels high.
As a specialist in fixed tilt ground mount tracker carport ballasted landfill roof mount and garage canopy solar mounting systems rbi provides best in class solar racking systems and project management capabilities to serve project developers and system integrators.
If you choose to install a rooftop solar energy system the cost falls to just 2 91 watt or 11 640 for a 4 kw system.
Drawbacks of ground mounted solar.
Your final mounting choice will be dependant on available space with regard to exposure to sun.
Racking and mounting products we supply are designed for quality structural fitting for roof top and ground mount solar power arrays.
Now for the drawbacks of ground mount racking that you might want to consider.
About racking and mounting.
Ground mount racking a ground mounted solar array is a great choice for a residential system if you have space and or have some challenges with a roof mounted system.
By comparison the average price for a standard ground mounted solar energy system without tracking capabilities on the energysage solar marketplace is just 3 16 watt or 12 640 for a 4 kw system.
Mounts are used to attach solar panels to the roof ground or another surface on your property.
Orientation for properties without south facing roofs ground mounted solar installations allow you to maximize your energy generation.
In general a ground mount is a lot more complicated to install and requires more money upfront to get the job done.
Most grid tied systems use the flush roof mounted arrangement while off grid systems usually use a roof ground mount or tracker that allows for seasonal tilt angle adjustment to provide maximum solar production throughout the year.
Rbi solar designs engineers manufactures and installs solar mounting systems for commercial and utility scale solar projects.
Two rails usually support each panel whether oriented in landscape or portrait.
Although ground mounted systems are less common they offer important benefits including.
It is a system which places the solar panels high on a structure and tracks them toward the sun all day a technology which provides dual axis tracking so the bifacial solar panels always face directly to the sun.
Ground mounted solar panels allow you to optimize the orientation true south and the ideal tilt to get the maximum electric supply from the sun.
Installation size if your property has a lot of unused land you can install a much larger pv system and generate even higher savings.
If your primary concern is seeing the maximum return on your investment into solar panels roof mount.
With proper installation a sturdy mount secures your panels in harsh weather and protects your investment.
