GROUND MOUNT
SOLAR ARRAY

A ground mounted solar array is an option for solar panels connected to OFFGRID NOW® power cabinets.

Ground Mount Arrays

Ground mount solar arrays are an excellent option for off-grid solar systems, particularly for rural properties, farms, cabins, and remote homes where roof space may be limited or unsuitable. Unlike rooftop systems, ground-mounted solar panels are installed on dedicated frames secured into the ground, allowing the array to be positioned for optimal sun exposure throughout the year. This improved positioning can significantly increase energy production, which is especially important for off-grid applications where every kilowatt matters.

Here are some of the main reasons you may want to consider a ground mount solar array:

  • You have a tiny house that has limited roof space or is located in a shaded area

  • You do not want to access the panels on the roof with a ladder for cleaning and maintenance

Key features of a ground mount solar array installed by OFFGRID NOW®.

1) Durable, scalable and built to last

OFFGRID NOW® uses the Clenergy SolarTerrace™ II-A because it’s a strong, reliable, and long-lasting solution for ground-mounted solar systems. Perfect for homes, farms, and off-grid properties, this system is designed to securely hold solar panels in open areas where roof installation may not be practical. Its smart pre-assembled design helps speed up installation, reducing labour time and overall project costs. Built using durable, corrosion-resistant materials, it’s made to handle tough Australian weather conditions for years to come. The adjustable frame also allows panels to be positioned at the ideal angle for maximum sunlight exposure and better energy production, making it a practical and efficient choice for ground-mounted solar installations. The frame we will supply to you is the same as you will see on solar farms, it’s a proven and tested ground mount frame.

2) Easier cleaning and maintenance

Ground mount solar systems are much easier to clean and maintain than roof-mounted systems because the panels are safely accessible from ground level. Homeowners and technicians can inspect, wash, and service the system without needing ladders, roof access equipment, or specialised safety gear. This makes regular maintenance quicker, safer, and more affordable over the life of the system. Ground-mounted panels are also easier to position away from trees, roof obstructions, and hard-to-reach areas, helping reduce dirt build-up and shading issues. If repairs or upgrades are needed in the future, ground mount systems provide simpler access, reducing downtime and making long-term solar system ownership more convenient.

In the absence of a wireless internet connection, all OFFGRID NOW® power cabinets may be supplied with a 4G wireless modem with a preloaded sim card and 12 months of data. The sim card will need to be recharged annually for a fee payable to OFFGRID NOW®. This option is only possible in regions with 4G connectivity and at least 3 bars of signal. If the signal strength is not available, you will need to arrange for the installation of a 4G wireless modem antennae upgrade (see below).
