Ground-mounted solar panels are solar energy systems that are installed directly on the ground rather than on the roof of a building. We do this using mounting structures that tilt the solar panels toward the sun to maximise energy production.
Ground-mounted solar panels are often the preferred option for:
Solarwatt UK is known for robust German manufacturing and innovative glass-glass panel technology, delivering exceptional lifespan and power yields. We install Solarwatt because their products offer outstanding performance.
Viridian Solar’s integrated roof panels combine cutting-edge engineering with elegant aesthetics, seamlessly blending into any property. We trust Viridian for projects where both performance and architectural harmony are essential.
GivEnergy’s battery storage systems are at the forefront of UK innovation, providing flexible, scalable solutions for energy independence. We recommend GivEnergy for their reliability, smart features, and seamless integration with solar systems.
Tesla Energy sets the standard for home battery technology with the Powerwall, combining sleek design, powerful storage, and intelligent energy management. As a Tesla Powerwall Premium Installer, we trust Tesla to deliver the ultimate in energy security and efficiency for our clients.
SolarEdge leads the way in smart energy management, offering advanced optimisers and inverters that maximise system performance and safety. We use SolarEdge products to provide our clients with intelligent, future-proof solar solutions.
SunPower Elite panels are renowned for their unmatched efficiency, durability, and sleek design. We install SunPower Panels because to ensure our clients receive maximum energy output and long-term reliability.
Ground mounted solar panels are set on frames that are mounted into the ground, usually in open spaces like large gardens, farmers field, or business-owned land. Once installed the solar panels catch sunlight and turn it into electricity you can use at home or work – depending on the size of the system you need for you property, you can have anywhere from 6 panels for a residential installation, or over 300 panels for a commercial installation.
A Stratford Energy Ground Mounted system comprises of Ground Mounts, Solar Panels, A Solar Inverters, and sometimes a Storage Battery too.

Aftercare & Maintenance
Thanks to new technology, we remotely monitor your system and quickly schedule maintenance whenever it’s needed.
The Laughtons’ Solar project involved the installation of SunPower Performance 380w All Black panels, which were expertly mounted in a ground mount array. This setup provided them with greater flexibility, allowing the system to be positioned perfectly south-facing and at an optimal angle for maximum sunlight capture. This means their system will always have optimal performance.
In addition to this system the family opted for a SolarEdge Optimised Inverter. As a result each panel operates independently. This enhances the overall Solar System performance despite occasional shading.
In most cases, installation takes just a few days. Once we finalise your system plan, our team gets to work quickly and efficiently. As a result, you’ll have your solar panels up and running with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Yes, they do. In fact, ground-mounted solar panels generate electricity even on grey or overcast days. Plus, we carefully position your system to maximise daylight exposure throughout the year.
Not much at all. Because the panels are easy to access, occasional cleaning stays simple. Additionally, we offer stress-free service plans to keep everything running smoothly without any fuss.
Absolutely! One major advantage of ground-mounted systems is that you can easily expand them as your energy needs grow over time.
While ground-mounted panels require some open space, you don’t need acres of land. Plus, we’ll work with you to design a system that fits your space and energy goals without taking over your garden or field.
In most cases, no planning permission is needed, especially for small to medium systems that meet basic requirements. However, if you live in a protected area or plan to install a larger system, permission may be necessary. That said, don’t worry we’ll guide you through the process and make sure everything’s clear before moving forward.
It all comes down to your available space. If your roof gets plenty of sun and is in good condition, roof-mounted panels are a solid option. However, if the roof isn’t ideal or if you want more control over placement, ground-mounted panels may be the better choice. Not only are they easier to clean and expand, but they can also be positioned exactly where the sun hits best for maximum efficiency.
Static ground mounts stay fixed in one position, usually tilted to capture the most sunlight throughout the day. On the other hand, tracking systems follow the sun’s movement to generate slightly more energy. However, they come at a higher cost and require more maintenance. That said, a well-positioned static system for most homes and small businesses delivers excellent performance without the extra hassle.
