Ground-mounted solar energy systems are a great option if you have enough open land, because they can be positioned for optimal production. New England Clean Energy installs, we believe, more ground-mounted systems than any other installer around.

Roof not good for solar? Maybe it’s wide open but facing the wrong way. Maybe it’s facing due south but has too many dormers or nearby trees casting shade. If you’ve got some open land, not to worry! This is one of several ground-mounted systems we installed as part of the Solarize Foster community program. […]

This 15-panel, ground-mounted solar energy system produces 89% of the home’s electricity, at a price about half what National Grid charges, plus it’s locked in for decades. The homeowner is very happy she went solar: “I wanted to reduce my carbon footprint and dependency on the electric company, and take advantage of what’s out there just […]

While relatively small by current standards, this 16-panel system produces 6,812 kWh per year which means 10,600 fewer pounds of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere each year.

This 52-panel, 17,004-watt system will save the owner almost $75,000 on electricity in the next 25 years in addition to the almost $40,000 he earns in SREC income.

This grandstand mount system with 20 SunPower 327-watt panels is producing enough clean energy to cover all of the home’s electricity use, plus a little extra.

When you run an orchard, it can be hard to find a place for solar amongst all those trees! This Stow, MA family installed solar energy systems on two of their commercial buildings, and then turned their attention to their home. The solution? A ground-mounted system set on a hill amidst the apple trees. Very […]

More than $200 a month off the electric bill. More than $250 a month in “green income”. That’s what this solar owner is getting for taking the solar plunge. Makes you want to dive in, doesn’t it?

This system was installed in two phases. The homeowner installed a two-pole, 36-panel ground-mount system that went live in August 2012, and then decided to add on. A little solar is a good thing. A lot of solar is a great thing! In October 2013, he turned on an additional 18 panels for a total […]

This December 2010 installation has 24 Schuco 210-watt solar panels, a Solectria PVI-5000 inverter, and pole mounts from Direct Power & Water. Ground-mounted systems can be “pole mounted” like this one, or “stadium mounted”.
