Why Choose Ground Mounted Solar?
Ground-mounted systems are more than just an alternative to roof panels – they are often the most efficient way to generate power. They offer unique advantages for both domestic and commercial properties:
- Optimised Angles – We aren’t limited by your roof pitch; we tilt and turn the panels for maximum solar gain.
- Easy Maintenance & Cooling – Ground-level access makes cleaning simple, and better airflow keeps panels cool and efficient.
- No Roof Restrictions – Perfect for listed buildings, thatched roofs, or properties with limited roof space.
- Scale to Your Needs – Easily expand your system to power everything from a single home to a large-scale agricultural operation.
We’ve already helped thousands across East Anglia, and many tell us it’s the best investments they’ve ever made.

Planning Permission – We Handle It
A common question for ground-mounted solar is: “Do I need planning permission?“
In many cases, ground-mounted systems fall under “Permitted Development,” provided they meet specific size and location criteria.
However, for larger installations or properties in conservation areas, a full application may be required.
The good news? We take care of everything. From initial site surveys and technical drawings to submitting the full planning application on your behalf, our team ensures your project is compliant and stress-free.

Frequently Asked Questions - Solar
How does ground-mounted solar work?
Instead of being fixed to a roof, panels are mounted on a durable metal frame (A-frame) anchored to the ground. This allows us to position them at the perfect angle for the UK climate.
Do I need planning permission for ground-mounted panels?
While many domestic systems fall under "Permitted Development," ground-mounted arrays have specific rules regarding size and height. We handle the entire application process for you, including all paperwork and site maps.
Is it suitable for my property?
If you have a clear, unshaded area of land or garden, it is likely suitable. During our survey, we check ground stability and the distance to your electrical consumer unit to ensure a cost-effective installation.
What types of solar panels are available, and which are best?
There are several panel types - the most efficient are monocrystalline, which we usually recommend. When we quote, we’ll match the right panels to your roof, energy use, and budget for the best performance and return on investment.
Are they as efficient as roof panels?
Often, they are more efficient. Because we can orient them perfectly South and at the ideal 35-degree angle, ground-mounted systems frequently outperform roof-mounted systems that are restricted by the house's orientation.
Are solar panels a good investment?
Yes. Solar panels significantly cut your electricity bills, add value to your home, and protect you from rising energy prices. Many customers tell us it’s one of the best investments they’ve ever made - both financially and environmentally.
What maintenance do solar panels require?
Very little. Rain usually keeps panels clean, but we recommend a quick annual check-up to keep things running efficiently. If you ever need to clean them, warm water is usually all that’s needed.
How are solar panels connected to the National Grid?
We take care of everything - including notifying Building Control and your District Network Operator (DNO). Once installed, your system is safely and legally connected to the grid, with all the required documentation in place.
