Ground Mounted Solar Panel Systems & Mounting Kits UK

Ground mounted solar systems provide an excellent alternative when roof installation is not practical or when maximum solar energy generation is required. By installing solar panels on a purpose-built ground mounting structure, you can optimise the angle and orientation of your solar array to achieve excellent year-round performance.

At Solar PV Systems, we supply a wide range of ground mounted solar panel systems, mounting kits and components suitable for domestic, agricultural and commercial installations throughout the UK. Whether you’re building a small off-grid system or a large ground-mounted solar array, we stock the equipment needed to create a secure and reliable installation. If you’re unsure which mounting solution is right for your project, read our Complete Guide to Solar Panel Mounting Systems for expert advice on selecting compatible rails, fixings and mounting systems.


Why Choose a Ground Mounted Solar System

Ground mounted solar panels offer several advantages over roof-mounted installations.

Maximum Solar Performance

Unlike roof-mounted systems, ground mounted arrays can be positioned at the ideal angle and orientation to maximise electricity generation throughout the year.

Easy Access for Maintenance

Ground-mounted installations are much easier to inspect, clean and maintain without the need for roof access equipment.

Flexible Installation

Ground mounting systems are ideal where:

  • Roof space is limited
  • Roof orientation is unsuitable
  • Roof structures cannot support solar panels
  • Larger solar arrays are required
  • Future system expansion is planned

Typical Applications

Ground mounted solar systems are suitable for:

  • Domestic properties with available land
  • Farms and agricultural buildings
  • Commercial premises
  • Industrial sites
  • Off-grid solar installations
  • Holiday parks
  • Rural properties
  • Workshops and outbuildings

Choosing the Right Ground Mounting System

Selecting the correct ground mounting system depends on several factors, including:

  • Number of solar panels
  • Panel dimensions
  • Available ground space
  • Ground conditions
  • Wind loading requirements
  • Foundation design
  • Future system expansion

If you’re unsure which system is best for your project, our technical team can help you select compatible mounting equipment.


Ground Mount vs Roof Mount

Ground Mounted Systems Roof Mounted Systems
Adjustable orientation Limited by roof angle
Easy maintenance access Roof access required
Ideal for large arrays Limited by roof space
Simple future expansion Expansion may be restricted
Suitable where roof installation isn’t possible Best for existing suitable roofs

Both systems have their advantages, and the right choice depends on your property and available installation space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are ground mounted solar panels more efficient

Ground mounted systems can often achieve higher energy generation because they can be positioned at the optimum angle and orientation, rather than being limited by the roof.

Can ground mounted solar systems be expanded

Yes. Many ground mounted systems can be extended as energy requirements increase, provided there is sufficient space and the mounting structure is designed accordingly.

Are ground mounted systems suitable for off-grid installations

Yes. Ground mounting systems are widely used for off-grid properties, agricultural buildings and remote locations where roof installation may not be practical.

What materials are used

Our mounting systems use high-quality aluminium rails and corrosion-resistant stainless steel fixings designed for long-term outdoor use.

Do ground mounted solar systems require planning permission

In many cases, domestic ground mounted solar installations are considered permitted development, although larger systems or installations in protected areas may require planning permission. Always check with your local planning authority before starting your project.
