How to Solar Ground Mounts Work Why Important?
Is a Solar Ground Mount Right for Your Home?
Some roofs of homes are not ideal locations for
the best solar panel mount, but dont let that
deter you from considering a solar energy
system. Installing a solar ground mount is a
simple solution for your home if your roof is
not an ideal location for sunlight. Maybe its
covered by trees or is in an area that is
blocked by other homes or structures. Read more
to see how solar ground mounts can work for
you. Solar panel mounts are an important
investment because they maximize your energy
production and they provide proper stability and
protection to your solar panel system however,
solar panel mounts cant always go on the roof
of your home. Installing a solar ground mount can
be a DIY project or something that Fire Mountain
Solar can assist with.
What is a solar ground mount?
Solar ground mounts are durable systems that are
anchored to the ground and can hold several
2
stacked solar panels. These panels can be stacked
three or four panels high with two rails
supporting each panel. Many top grid DIY solar
panel kits will include solar ground mounts for
your energy systems. Solar ground mounts allow
you to pick the optimal angle in a south facing
direction, this is something you cant always
have with a roof top solar panel mount. A
standard ground mount is built on a structure
and its set to a fixed angle. Pole mounts make
it easy to adjust and tilt the angle of your
solar mounts in order to maximize your power
output throughout the year. Obviously, there are
certain times of the year that are darker or
cloudier than others. Its important to be aware
of your racking systems angles so you can
maximize your power output 24/7. Want to know
where to start? A good place to start before you
get your measuring tape out is to check your
utility bills and find your average cost of
energy. How much are your bills every month? Are
they more expensive in the summer? Or in the
winter? If your energy bills are out of hand and
you are looking to save hundreds of dollars
every year - then you should consider having a
best solar panel mount and system installed on
your property. First, you need to design and
size your system based on space, cost, and your
energy needs. Next, work with Fire Mountain
Solar to purchase your solar equipment - panels,
racking system, ground mounts and more. Dont
think you can afford a system? There are many
financial options available and many
institutions offer lower interest rates on
loans. Then its time to install your solar
racking system or solar ground mounts for your
panels and connect your panels to your racking
system/equipment. Finally, install your solar
inverter and start saving money! Buying and
installing a solar panel system on your home
might seem like an enormous (and complicated)
home improvement project, but Fire Mountain Solar
takes the hassle out of installation. Not Sure
Where to Place your Solar Panel Racking
System? No matter what kind of solar racking
system you end up using - the placement of your
panels is what will make a huge difference in
the ability to produce energy. Be mindful not to
place your solar racking system in an area that
is heavily shaded by trees, buildings or any
large shadowed area that blocks sunlight for
extended periods of time. If you would like
