Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ground mount solar systems
Ground mount systems typically cost 10-20% more than rooftop systems of the same size due to additional materials (racking, foundations) and site preparation. However, ground mounts often achieve higher energy production (5-15% more) due to optimal orientation and cooling, which can offset the additional cost over time. They also avoid roof penetration issues and are easier to maintain.
As a general rule, you need approximately 5-7 acres per megawatt (MW) of solar capacity for fixed-tilt systems, or 4-6 acres per MW for single-axis tracking systems. A typical 10 kW residential system requires about 500-700 square feet. The exact land requirement depends on panel efficiency, tilt angle, row spacing, and local regulations for setbacks and access.
Yes, our Terra FLEX system is specifically designed for sloped terrain up to 25° grade. The system features adjustable legs that accommodate varying ground heights while maintaining panel alignment. For steeper slopes, terracing or specialized engineering may be required. South-facing slopes are often ideal for solar as they receive more sunlight.
Ground mount systems require minimal maintenance. Key tasks include: 1) Vegetation management (mowing/trimming around the array), 2) Panel cleaning (1-2 times per year depending on dust/pollen), 3) Structural inspection (annual visual check for corrosion or damage), 4) Electrical inspection (annual by qualified technician). The galvanized steel and aluminum structures are designed for decades of service with no painting or rust prevention needed.
Yes, most jurisdictions require building permits for ground mount systems. Requirements typically include: structural engineering drawings, electrical permits, land use permits, and possibly environmental reviews. For large systems, additional permits may be needed for grid connection. K-SUN provides complete engineering documentation and can assist with the permitting process in most regions.
