Ground-Mounted Solar Panel Installation
If your property in Leicestershire lacks sufficient roof space for solar panels or you have available land, a ground-mount solar installation is a highly effective way to generate clean, renewable energy. Insolation Solar specialises in designing and installing bespoke ground-mounted solar panel systems across Leicestershire, helping homeowners, farmers, and businesses maximise their land’s potential to reduce energy bills and carbon emissions.
Unlike rooftop solar panels, ground-mounted solar panels are installed on sturdy, adjustable frames anchored directly into the ground. This configuration enables optimal positioning and angling to capture the most sunlight throughout the day, regardless of roof shape or shading. Whether you own farmland, commercial premises, or a large residential property, a ground-mount solar PV system delivers enhanced energy output, flexibility, and significant long-term savings.
One of our recent customers near Wolverhampton had acres of open farmland and decided to invest in a solar ground-mount system to reduce energy bills and future-proof his property (see below).
A Recent Ground Mount Solar System Installation:
A recent installation was completed on a farm near Wolverhampton. The client utilised a section of pastureland, elevating 88 solar panels to allow sheep to graze underneath. This multifunctional design allows for both renewable energy generation and agricultural activity on the same land.
Our experienced team completed the installation in seven days, which included ground preparation, trenching, frame assembly, electrical wiring, and system commissioning. The system features 88 Longi Explorer 435W solar panels, two Growatt inverters, and two Tesla Powerwall 3 battery units. The site was left clean and fully operational after completion.
With a system capacity of 38.28kW, this installation is expected to generate approximately 39,000 kilowatt-hours (39 MWh) of sustainable electricity each year, significantly reducing the farm’s dependence on grid power.
Environmental and Financial Benefits:
A ground-mounted solar panel system like this helps lower environmental impact by offsetting carbon emissions equivalent to planting 717 trees annually. It also conserves over 11,900 litres of petrol and prevents the burning of more than 13,500 kilograms of coal every year. Financially, the farm saves nearly £8,000 per year on energy costs, with those savings set to rise as energy prices increase.
