Ground-Mount Vs. Roof-Mount Solar Racking System: Comparison Guide Released

The recently released guide introduces solar contractors to the latest advancements in ground-mounted solar racking technology which are helping to overcome obstacles which have traditionally made roof-mounted solar panels a more attractive option, particularly for smaller-scale residential projects.

Nuance Energy’s new guide lays out the advantages of roof-mounted racking systems, which sit flush to the roof structure. This makes them less prone to extreme weather conditions and a good option for urban areas where space is at a premium.

However, the guide also notes that there are disadvantages to the common roof-mounted approach to solar paneling. In particular, Nuance Energy highlights the surface area restrictions of working on roof-tops, as well as the potential difficulties of optimizing solar energy production if the roof is not designed with an unhindered south-facing slope.

Solar contractors often dismiss small-scale ground-mounted solar installations because of the costs and time associated with site preparations, says Nuance Energy. However, the company’s new patented earth anchor technology eliminates the need for extensive ground work. The guide explains how Nuance Energy’s system, including the modular Osprey PowerRack®, works to create a 10 – 20% saving on residential projects.

“Traditional ground-mount systems often require multiple trips to the site and significant delays for things like concrete curing. With our system, that’s eliminated. We can install everything in one mobilization, which cuts down project time significantly,” explained a spokesperson for Nuance Energy.

“Our system uses handheld tools to install the earth anchors, which means low-cost labor and no need for heavy equipment. This makes our system far more efficient and accessible to installers in different regions.”

Nuance Energy’s thoroughly comprehensive guide covers maintenance and accessibility for both roof and ground-mounted racking systems, helping solar contractors to take long-term project guarantees into account when deciding between the two systems.

The guide provides solar installers with the most all-encompassing information to help make predictable project costs and installation times. Nuance Energy explains that this will enable industry workers to provide more accurate quotes to residential customers, as well as plan staffing and crew rotations with greater specificity.
