Ground Mount Solar Installations
Turn unused land into a high-output solar asset – ideal for farms, factories and commercial sites across Victoria.
Ground mount solar is a smart alternative when roof space is limited, shading is an issue, or you want maximum generation with room to expand. With the correct layout and engineering, it delivers strong performance and easy access for ongoing maintenance.
What is Ground Mount Solar?
A ground-mount system installs solar panels on a purpose-built frame anchored to the ground (instead of on your roof). The panels feed power through an inverter, just like rooftop solar – but with more freedom to position panels for the best sunlight and easier servicing.
When does Ground Mount Make Sense?
- You don't have enough suitable roof space (or the roof isn't ideal for solar)
- You want the flexibility to place panels where sunlight is strongest.
- Your business needs a larger system size and future expansion options.
- You want easier access for cleaning, inspections and maintenance.
- You're on a farm or rural property with open land available (common for dairy and agriculture).
Why Businesses Choose Ground Mount Solar?
Ground Mount Installation Types
We recommend the right mounting style based on your site, soil conditions, wind exposure and system size.
Fixed-Tilt Ground Mount
A durable, cost-effective setup with panels locked at an optimal angle for year-round generation.
Ballasted Ground Mount
Used when ground penetration isn't suitable (e.g., loose soil or sensitive terrain). Faster to deploy in specific conditions.
Single-Axis Tracking
Panels move on one axis to follow the sun’s path through the day, often increasing yield compared to fixed systems on larger commercial sites.
From Feasibility to Commissioning
Ground mount projects involve more than panels - they require site planning, civil works and proper approvals.
Site Assessment & Feasibility
Shade review, site measurements and early layout planning.
Engineering & Design
Ground conditions may require a geotechnical review to confirm footing / post suitability, especially for larger arrays.
Approvals & Permits
For many projects, approvals can involve council/building processes and additional assessments (depending on the site and size).
Civil + Electrical Works
Trenching, conduit planning and safe cable runs (often underground), then mounting structure installation.
Installation, Testing & Commissioning
Panels, inverters, monitoring and final commissioning for reliable operation.
Ongoing Support & Maintenance
We stay available after install - helping you keep performance strong year after year.
Plan for Storage & Future Loads
Ground mount solar pairs well with battery storage – especially for businesses aiming to reduce peak demand, improve self-consumption, or prepare for future electrification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Farms, rural properties, commercial facilities with open land, and businesses with limited or unsuitable roof space.
In most cases, yes. We can design your system with future battery integration in mind.
Yes. Access is simpler for cleaning and routine inspections compared to rooftop systems.
Sometimes, yes – especially for larger commercial projects. We’ll guide you through what applies to your site.
It can be – because ground mounts allow better orientation/tilt and placement away from roof constraints and shading.
It depends on system size, panel layout and row spacing. We’ll confirm the footprint during your site assessment.
