Ground Mounted Solar Installation

Ground-mount solar Photovoltaic systems are attached to the rooftop of structures which are mounted on the ground instead of the roofs of buildings. Their designs are preferable on flat or mildly inclined lands-industrial plots, SEZs, agricultural land (where allowed) and land close to a manufacturing facility. The panel arrays are set at accurate angles and a certain direction to capture the maximum amount of sunlight in one year.

Ground mounted solar plants are ideal where there is no sufficient rooftop capacity or in cases where several megawatts are needed. The systems are more accessible to maintenance and also easy to scale.

Advantages:

  • No roof strength or building arrangement limitations.
  • Easy upgrading to the megawatt level.
  • Cleaning and inspections can easily be accessed.
  • Potential dual-use applications where permitted.

A ground mounted solar system in Punjab can be made a fixed decades long power supply to your operations with proper engineering.

Continuous running of heavy machinery in manufacturing units and process industries are active all day long. A solar power plant mounted on the ground can be used to provide a substantial part of this base load, and hence eliminate a reliance on grid tariffs and diesel generators.

  • Design was adjusted to change the time and load pattern.
  • Scalability to a number of several hundred kWp to multi-MWp plants.
  • Integration with current HT/LT panels and backup systems.
  • Lessened demand and less power fees in the long run.

Solutions for Warehouses, Logistics & Data Centers

Solutions for Warehouses, Logistics & Data Centers

Lighting, cooling, servers, and data centers of warehouses, cold storage, logistics parks, and data centers have significant and constant power needs. Unutilised land can be transformed into a credible source of energy by ground mounted solar projects.

  • Daytime power availability of temperature sensitive and uptime sensitive functions.
  • Irregular plot layouts and expansion in the future.
  • Possible integration of energy storage where it is needed.
  • Improved clients and investor ESG.

Solutions for Institutions, SEZs & Industrial Parks

Commercial Solar Power Solutions

Educational campuses, free zones and multi-tenant industrial parks usually operate multiple power users. Such clusters may have a centralized source of clean energy in the form of a strategically planned ground mounted solar plant.

  • Multi-unit generation in the campus or park.
  • Appealing the situation to provide lower cost power to tenants that is greener.
  • Scalable architecture to support addition of new users
  • Good sustainability story of branding and policy conformity.

Benefits of Ground Mounted Solar in Punjab

Punjab has a favourable location with great solar irradiation, good grid infrastructural facilities, and favourable policies that have made it one of the most favourable states of India in terms of deployment of ground mounted solar. The terrestrial installations open up the performance and design benefits that are not readily available with roof-top systems.

Higher Energy Yield

The best tilt, orientation and spacing give maximum generation. Ground systems normally perform better in comparison with rooftop systems per-kW.
Flexible layouts

Flexible Layouts

The arrays could be configured to suit the topography of the land, the soil and the capacity needs such as multi-MW arrays.
Ease of O&M

Ease of Operation and Maintenance

Unobstructed access and walkways help in the daily cleaning, inspection and repair processes, which contribute to increased uptime and predictable functionality.
Long-Term Tariff Savings

Long-Term Tariff Savings

Long-term PPA or one-time investment offers protection against increasing grid tariffs, which are a predictable and low-cost source of energy throughout the life of the plant.

Policy & Regulatory Support

Punjab has provided systems on captive and open access solar where qualified consumers can take advantage within the state regulation provisions.

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 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.

 

  • 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

 

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.

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.

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

The ideal land must be fairly flat (slopes up to 10deg controllable), with the sun shining in all the day and with proximity to grid connectivity points. Proper conversions of industrial land, agricultural land, and wasteland, and SEZs are all appropriate. Testing of soil will ensure right design of foundation.

Solar projects may be installed on an agricultural land under land-use conversion permissions by the Punjab government authorities. This is done through acquisition of NOCs and change of land classification. GSE Renewables will provide assistance in all regulatory procedures, yet the durations may differ (they usually take 3-6 months).

The area of solar ground-mounted is normally 4-5 acres per MW with crystalline silicon technology. This incorporates space in panel array, inverter stations, access roads, drainage and perimeter fencing. Precise specifications are based on panel efficiency, mounting arrangement, and topography.

Captive ground based plants are within specified distance and serve your own plant solely. With open access you get to buy power in any plant in Punjab using the grid where you pay the wheeling and transmission cost. Captive models are also cheaper and have restricted location.

Plants mounted on the ground will need to be connected to the network at PSPCL at proper voltage (11 kV, 33 kV, or 66 kV based on capacity). The distance to nearest substation influences the interconnection costs. Feeders or upgrades of substations to accommodate projects larger than some threshold may be necessary, arranged by GSE with PSPCL.

Indeed, ground-mounted plants are extremely scalable. In case you have more land that you have already booked and have approved load capacity, we can add arrays and inverter capacity in phases. This is beneficial to businesses that have increased power requirements or have to test their performance first before full construction.

Mounted installations on the ground will need perimeter fencing, security lights, and a CCTV camera and maybe security guards depending on the location and size. These are part of system design in GSE. A big number of clients also prefer the remote monitoring systems that inform the teams of any intrusion or tampering.
