Ground Mounted Solar PV
What are ground-mounted solar panels?
Ground-mounted solar panels are conventional solar panels installed on frames or poles fixed to the ground and used to support photovoltaic (PV) panels for electricity generation.
The systems are either fixed-tilt, with modules arranged in arrays at a constant angle offering stability and ease of installation, or are tracking, where the arrays will follow the sun as it makes its daily journey across the sky. Tracking systems are more efficient from a generation perspective, often in the region of 20%, but introduce engineering complexity and commercial risk.
OWC has a cutting-edge team familiar with recent trends in the ground-mounted solar market and rich experience with key stakeholders, including manufacturers, contractors and asset managers.
