Ground Mount Solar Systems and Agriculture, the endless possibilities

Ground mount systems are becoming more and more common in rural areas where roof real estate tends to be a lot less.

There are a lot of considerations to look at with ground mount:

The kind of soil you're dealing with
The proximity to the main switchboard
The fact that trenching is involved
Row spacing
This video looks at the connection between Agrivoltaics and ground mount solar systems.

combination of renewable energy, in most cases solar but also wind farms, with cropping and the use of livestock.

So how it works is this!

The solar panels are put into a ground mount configuration with some slight variations on your standard ground mount. In some cases they are set up a lot higher so more available light can come in under the panel.

The row spacing can sometimes be wider to allow crops to flourish and animals to graze and the other option is when the panels are actually placed, instead of being butted up against each other with a 15 to 25-30 mm gap they tend to have a wider gap.
