Ground-mount and rooftop solar solutions are two methods for installing solar panels. Nimbus Solar Solutions ensure that the buyer understands each type’s benefits and drawbacks before installing a system in their vicinity.
This blog compares ground-mount and rooftop solar solutions to assist consumers in making a decision.
Benefits of rooftop solar solutions
Rooftop solar systems employ railings to attach solar panels to the roof of buildings. Some of the advantages of rooftop solar solutions are:
- Rooftop solar solutions take advantage of underutilised space.
- They eliminate the need to build a separate load-bearing base for the panel array, lowering the installation cost. Most modern sheds are built to support the additional weight of solar panels on the roof.
- It minimises shading from neighbouring plants and structures, increasing the system’s power generation efficiency.
- Rooftop solar solutions can protect the roof from harmful environmental conditions.
- It also keeps the sheds cool as the Sun’s rays do not directly hit the rooftop.
Disadvantages of rooftop solar solutions
- Rooftop solar solutions require a robust, well-oriented roof, or even a new roof in some cases, for installation.
- Installing rooftop solar solutions may be difficult due to limited roof area, and a smaller space may reduce energy output.
Benefits of a ground-mount system
Ground-mount solar panel systems are arranged on the ground. The following are the advantages of ground-mount systems:
- Ground-mount solar systems offer high control over the angle at which your panels are tilted and the direction they face. Both of these considerations have a significant bearing on the amount of energy the system produces daily.
- Ground-mount systems can be built on snowy land and hillsides using pole mounts for efficient energy output.
- As the panels are on the ground, they are easy to clean and maintain without using a ladder or safety gear.
Disadvantages of ground-mount systems
- They restrict land usage and occupy a huge chunk of real estate areas.
- They may increase the risk of accidental damage as the panels are easily accessible.
- A notable disadvantage is the high installation cost, as ground-mount systems require a separate foundation to support the panel array.
In conclusion, choosing ground-mount or rooftop solar solutions should be carefully considered after weighing their advantages and disadvantages.
