Alternative Mounting for Solar Installations
Alternate Solar Panel Mounting Options
Solar panel mounting options go beyond traditional rooftop installations. Alternate mounting solutions such as ground mounts, barn mounts, carport mounts, and or pergola mounts offer flexibility and can optimize the use of space while enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of your property.
New England Clean Energy installed a 45 Panel system for us on our detached garage in January 2024. From the design to the installation, I was very impressed with the design, communication and installation. The electricians were fantastic! Very Clean install and very quick!
Two installations, the first in a field, the second on the barn. Both went in quickly, no fuss, have worked reliably and I have no electric bills to pay. Who could ask for more?
Ground Mounts
Ground-mounted solar panels are ideal for properties with ample land. These systems are installed at ground level and can be adjusted for optimal sun exposure. They are easier to maintain and can be scaled to accommodate larger solar arrays.
- Advantages:
- Optimal angle adjustment
- Scalable for large installations
- Easier maintenance
Barn Mounts
Barn-mounted solar panels are perfect for agricultural settings. Utilizing the roof space of barns and outbuildings, these mounts can provide significant energy for farming operations, reducing reliance on the grid.
- Advantages:
- Efficient use of existing structures
- Reduced land use
- Ideal for large roof spaces
Carport Mounts
Carport solar panels serve a dual purpose: generating energy and providing shaded parking. These structures can be built over parking lots or driveways, maximizing the use of space and protecting vehicles from the elements.
- Advantages:
- Dual functionality (energy generation and vehicle protection)
- Efficient use of parking space
- Enhances property value
Pergola Mounts
Pergola-mounted solar panels combine aesthetics with functionality. Ideal for residential or commercial properties, they provide shaded outdoor spaces while generating clean energy. The best options can also be decked out as a 3-season living space with appliances, running water, and special lighting (picture it next to your backyard pool).
- Advantages:
- Aesthetic appeal
- Functional outdoor space
- Integration with landscaping
Alternate solar panel mounting options offer versatile and efficient solutions for various settings. Whether you have expansive land, agricultural buildings, parking areas, or garden structures, there is a mounting option to suit your needs. Explore these innovative solutions to maximize your solar energy production and enhance the value and functionality of your property.
