How Can a Ground Mount Solar System Work for Your Business?

At Kansas Solar Systems, we help businesses harness the full potential of their property by utilizing groundmounted solar systems. Whether you have open space onsite or nearby land that’s underutilized, a commercial ground mount solar solution can offer significant energy savings and environmental benefits.
1. Maximize Unused Land: If your business has open, unused land with good sun exposure, a groundmounted solar system can be a highly efficient energy solution. Unlike roof-mounted panels, ground mounts can be positioned at the optimal angle and orientation, ensuring the best possible energy production and slightly higher output than a roof system.
2. Avoid Roof Challenges: Ground mounts are ideal for businesses with roof-related issues, such as insufficient space, structural concerns, or roof materials that aren’t compatible with solar installation. For those who don’t have room for a solar carport or solar pergola, ground mounts provide a flexible alternative.
3. Supplement Existing Systems: If your business already has a roof-mounted solar system, a groundmounted array can supplement your existing setup to boost overall energy production, especially if you’re experiencing increased energy demand.
4. Grid-Tied or Off-Grid Options: Unless you opt for an off-grid solution, your groundmounted solar array will remain connected to the utility grid, allowing you to take advantage of net metering and offset your electricity costs.

Considerations For Solar Ground Mount

Long term plans:

When planning your ground mount installation, consider any future land development, such as the addition of new buildings, structures, or trees, that could impact the location or efficiency of your solar array. Future growth or shade from new landscaping may affect energy production, so it’s important to plan for the long-term.

Property lines

Many jurisdictions have specific regulations requiring groundmounted systems to be set a certain distance from property lines. We will work with you to ensure your installation complies with these setbacks, though it may influence where the array can be placed on your property.

Fencing & Trenching

Commercial ground mounts often require fencing to secure the array and protect it from damage or vandalism. Additionally, trenches will need to be dug to run electrical cables from the solar panels to your facility’s electrical system. These considerations should be factored into your project timeline and budget.

Tax Credits & Incentives

There are significant financial incentives available to businesses that choose to install solar systems, making the transition to renewable energy more affordable than ever. Here are the key tax benefits your business could qualify for:

Two tax credits are available to businesses, local and tribal governments and nonprofits however in general a project owner can only claim one of the tax credits for each property. There are exceptions to this point and the Solar Energy Technologies Office guide Federal Solar Tax Credits for Businesses offers greater insight on this point.

The investment tax credit (ITC) reduces your federal income tax liability for a percentage of the cost of your solar installation within the tax year. And the production tax credit (PTC) is a kilowatt-hour tax credit for all electricity generated by solar and any other qualifying technology within the first 10 years of your systems operation. Much like the ITC it reduces your federal income tax liability however is adjusted annually for inflation.

For agricultural producers and rural small businesses Rural Energy for America Program, or REAP, grants are available to make energy efficiency improvements as well as for renewable energy solutions. Further information about REAP grants can be found at USDA.

Scheduling a complementary consultation is a great first step to exploring different solar solutions for your business. Feel free to ask us a question or schedule a complimentary consultation over the phone, online or in person.

We welcome the opportunity to visit with you and talk further about your solar and energy needs and the incentives available.
