Ground Mounted Solar Installation
Ground-mount solar installation simply means solar panels are installed on structures anchored to the ground instead of on a rooftop. These systems work well on flat or gently sloping land, such as industrial plots, SEZs, non-agricultural land parcels and areas near your manufacturing unit. The rows of panels are arranged with the right tilt and orientation to capture maximum sunlight throughout the year.
Ground mounted solar plants are especially useful when rooftop space is limited or when you want to build a multi-megawatt solution that is easy to access and expand over time.
- No dependency on roof strength or building layout
- Easier to scale capacity into the MW range
- Straightforward access for cleaning and maintenance
- Possibility to combine with agri or shade-tolerant usage where suitable
With the right design, a ground mounted solar installation in Gujarat can become a stable, long-term power source for your business.

Benefits of Ground Mounted Solar Plant Installation in Gujarat
Gujarat has got good solar irradiation, good grid infrastructure and favourable policies and hence it is one of the most favourable states in which a ground mounted solar plant should be installed. When you install solar plants on a specific land, you open up performance and design advantages not easily available in the rooftops alone.
Higher Energy Yield
Choosing the right financing model for your ground mounted solar power plant is crucial for CFOs and business owners who want savings without straining cash flows.
Flexible Layouts
Ground mounted solar plants can be arranged in rows with customised spacing to match land shape, soil conditions and capacity requirements, including multi-MW installations.
Ease of O&M
Clear walkways and open access make routine cleaning, inspection and maintenance simpler, supporting higher uptime and consistent performance.
Long-Term Tariff Savings
By investing once or signing a long-term PPA, your business can hedge against rising grid tariffs and enjoy predictable, low-cost energy over the life of the plant.
Policy & Regulatory Support
Gujarat offers frameworks for captive and open access solar, allowing eligible consumers to benefit from ground mounted solar projects within the state’s regulatory guidelines.
Financing Models for Ground Mounted Solar: CAPEX & OPEX
Choosing the right financing model for your ground mounted solar power plant is crucial for CFOs and business owners who want savings without straining cash flows.
CAPEX Model
In the CAPEX model, your business invests in the plant and becomes the full owner of the ground mounted solar asset. You incur the upfront project cost, and in return you enjoy the complete benefit of the energy savings over the system’s life. The plant appears on your balance sheet, and you can claim eligible tax benefits and accelerated depreciation.
- Higher long-term returns and lower per-unit cost over the years
- Full control over plant operation and energy utilisation
- Attractive option for businesses with investment appetite
OPEX / PPA Model
In the OPEX or PPA model, an investor or SPV typically owns the ground mounted solar power plant, while your business pays only for the electricity consumed at an agreed per-unit tariff. This reduces or eliminates upfront capital expenditure and turns solar into a pure operational expense.
GSE Renewables can help you compare CAPEX and OPEX options for your site so you can choose the structure that best fits your financial and energy goals.
- Low or zero upfront capex for your business
- Predictable per-unit tariff over the PPA duration
- Off-balance-sheet solution with long-term clean power supply
- Ideal for companies prioritising liquidity and asset-light strategies

Key Ground Mounted Solar Installation Projects
Here we will showcase our case studies based on ground mounted solar plant installations
01.
Daawat Foods Limited
The roof of their plant did not have all the load bearing capacity that was needed. An innovative design was thought through and deployed to provide additional support to the roof for the solar plant. GSE Renewables covered the challenges by installing a rooftop metal sheet behind the meter.
02.
Nippon Paint
There were massive challenges in the construction and installation of the plant due to heavy rainfall. We executed the project in time which was again a solar rooftop project. We could provide reliable solar solutions to them this way.
03.
Parksons Packaging Limited
Top solar energy companies deemed the plant’s roof to be inappropriate. We were able to finish the plant installation on schedule because of our skill in project management. The project was completed by installing a rooftop and a tin shed plant using penetration-free technology and net metering.
04.
Birla education Trust
The historic buildings at BET campus were a hurdle for the new age solar energy services to be integrated into the current system. But to handle strong wind loads, we put in place a stronger construction. It was a rooftop RCC project that was completed within the given time.
FAQ
A ground-mount solar plant is a solar power system where panels are installed on structures fixed to the ground instead of a rooftop. The rows of modules are aligned with the best tilt and direction, usually on open or industrial land, to capture maximum sunlight and generate electricity for captive use or sale under approved models.
Solar systems on the ground are arranged on open area whereas the solar plants on the roof are placed on the roof of the building. Ground-mounted systems are generally simpler to expand to the MW scale, fewer limitations exist on roof strength or layout and they are less complicated to clean and maintain. Rooftops are good with small capacity and ground mounts with large areas of land.
Ground-mounted Solar panels do not need any unique maintenance except that of the normal solar plants. Periodic cleaning, inspection of the structures and cables, and frequent electrical inspection are normally adequate. All things being on the ground means that the maintenance teams and equipment have easier access to them and this helps maintain performance and uptime throughout the life of the plant.
Ground-mounted systems are best suited for:
- Industrial units with adjacent or nearby land parcels
- SEZs, industrial parks and clusters
- Large warehouses, logistics parks and data centres
- Institutions or campuses with spare non-building land
They work well wherever you have open land and want to install a larger capacity than the rooftop can support.
Annual energy generation depends on plant size, design and site conditions. As a rough idea, each kW of well-designed ground mounted solar in Gujarat can generate several units of electricity per day on average over the year. A multi-MW plant can therefore supply a substantial portion of a large facility’s daytime load when designed correctly.
Design, spacing and topography can affect land requirement but in a single simple rule a 1.5-2 acre per MWp ground mounted solar capacity can be used as the rough guideline. Precise land required can be more or less depending on the technology of modules, row space, plot shape and setbacks or access roads within the layout.
The approvals usually involve grid connectivity and Local DISCOM permissions, land-related and statutory clearances based on project model and location. There are differences in the requirements of captive, group captive and open access structures. GSE Renewables assists in comprehending the approvals that are in place and takes into account the entire process of technical and documentation.
