Ground mount

When the roof runs out, the land takes over.

Ground-mounted solar frees the system from the building: ideal pitch, ideal orientation, and a scale set by your land instead of your roofline. From field-scale farm arrays to solar farms — designed, consented and installed by one team.

Field scale

Rows aimed exactly where the sun is.

No compromise with the building’s geometry: ground-mount rows face due south at the pitch that maximises annual yield, with spacing designed so rows never shade each other. The result is more energy per panel than most roofs can deliver.

What we deliver

From a spare field to a solar farm.

Farm and estate arrays.

Field-scale systems behind the meter — powering dairies, grain stores, irrigation and cold storage directly, with grazing preserved between the rows.

Commercial ground mount.

For sites where the roof can’t carry the load the business needs — car parks, yards and spare land turned into generation, connected into the same system as rooftop and storage.

Solar farms.

Multi-megawatt export sites: feasibility, planning, grid application, construction and operation — one accountable team from first survey to energisation.

Grid connection refused or constrained? Ground mount pairs naturally with storage — see off-grid and hybrid options.

Questions

The questions asked before going ground-mounted.

When does ground-mounted solar beat a rooftop system?

When the roof is the constraint — too small, too old, wrong orientation, or already full. Ground mount frees the design from the building: rows can face due south at the ideal pitch, and the array scales with your land rather than your roofline.

How much land does a ground-mounted system need?

A few acres per megawatt, depending on panel density, row spacing and layout. We design around field boundaries, access and shading — a feasibility survey tells you exactly what your land can carry.

Do ground-mounted systems need planning permission?

Usually, above modest sizes — unlike most commercial rooftop installs. We handle the planning application as part of the project, including the assessments planners ask for.

Can farmland still be used around the array?

Often, yes — sheep grazing between and beneath rows is common, and layouts can preserve field access. The land keeps working while it generates.
