Ground Mount Solar Panels

Ground Mount Solar Panels by PV Plus

At PV Plus, we design and install ground mount solar panels for commercial sites, local authorities, schools, and rural estates across England. Whether it’s a large open field, unused land beside a facility, or part of a long-term sustainability strategy, our ground-mounted systems are built to deliver reliable, high-yield energy generation tailored to your site.

We work with proven mounting systems to ensure robust performance, minimal ground disturbance, and long-term durability — even in exposed or uneven locations. Whether you’re aiming for Net Zero, reducing operational costs, or boosting ESG credentials, we help you turn underused land into a powerful clean energy asset.

Flexible Mounting Options
Ground-mounted systems can be installed on unused land, fields, or open spaces near your building — perfect when roof space is limited or unsuitable for solar.

Support ESG & Sustainability Targets
Installing solar is a visible and measurable step toward environmental commitments, helping you meet corporate ESG strategies and demonstrate climate leadership.

Optimised Performance
With full control over panel orientation and spacing, ground mount systems can be designed for maximum solar gain, long-term output, and ease of maintenance.

Make Use of Unused Space
Turn an unused space into an energy-generating asset, cutting electricity bills and reducing your reliance on the grid.

Future-Proof Your Energy Costs
By generating clean, on-site power, you gain control over long-term energy pricing — with clear financial and environmental ROI.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for a ground mount solar system?

Yes, ground-mounted systems usually require planning permission. We can support you through the process, including layouts and DNO applications where needed.

How much space do I need for a ground-mounted system?

As a rough guide, you’ll need around 4–5 acres per megawatt of solar, depending on the layout and module efficiency. We’ll assess your site and propose the most efficient design to suit your energy goals.

Can I install solar on agricultural land?

Yes, clients use agricultural or rural land for solar. In some cases, the land can even be dual-purpose — with sheep grazing, biodiversity planting, or wildflower meadows incorporated around the array.

Is the system fixed to the ground permanently?

Not necessarily. We offer both driven pile and concrete-free options, which can be removed or relocated in future. This can be useful for leased land or where reversibility is required for planning.

How is the system protected from damage or interference?

Ground-mounted systems are typically secured with perimeter fencing and warning signage to prevent unauthorised access.
