Generate More Solar Power With a Ground-Mounted System

Not every property has the right roof for solar. A ground-mounted solar system can provide an efficient alternative, giving you the flexibility to place your solar array where it can capture the most sunlight. Portside Renewables designs and installs custom ground-mounted solar systems for homes, businesses, farms, and other properties throughout Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Whether you have limited roof space, an older roof, shading concerns, or simply want to keep your solar array separate from your home or building, a ground-mounted system may be the right solution.

Why Choose Ground-Mounted Solar?

Ground-mounted solar gives you more flexibility when it comes to the location, orientation, and design of your solar array. By installing panels on a dedicated ground structure, we can evaluate your property and identify an area with strong solar exposure.

More flexibility in system design
Ground-mounted systems allow your solar array to be positioned independently of your roof, providing greater flexibility for orientation and placement.

Make use of available land
If you have suitable open space on your property, a ground-mounted system can turn otherwise unused land into a source of renewable energy.

Avoid roof limitations
An aging roof, limited roof space, complex rooflines, or shading can make rooftop solar challenging. Ground-mounted solar provides another option.

Easier access for service
Because the panels are installed at ground level, routine inspection, maintenance, and service can be more accessible than with a rooftop system.

Is Ground-Mounted Solar Right for Your Property?

Ground-mounted solar may be a good option if you:

Have limited or unsuitable roof space
Have an older roof or upcoming roof replacement
Have significant roof shading
Own property with suitable open land
Want your solar system separate from your home or building
Are looking for a larger solar installation
Are interested in a solar tracking system

Let’s Take a Look at Your Property

The best way to determine whether ground-mounted solar makes sense is to evaluate your property and energy needs. Portside Renewables can assess your available space, solar exposure, electrical requirements, and goals to develop a system that fits your property.

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do.

Custom Ground-Mounted Solar Systems

Every property is different. Portside Renewables evaluates factors such as available land, sun exposure, shading, electrical requirements, system size, and your energy goals when designing a ground-mounted solar installation.

Solar Trackers: Follow the Sun

Portside Renewables is also an authorized AllEarth Renewables solar tracker dealer, giving customers another option for ground-mounted solar. According to AllEarth Renewables, their tracking systems can produce up to 40% more energy than a fixed roof-mounted system, depending on site conditions and system design.
