Guide

When the roof is not the right place

A ground-mounted array is for a garden, paddock, or other open land when the roof is limited, shaded, or facing the wrong way.

Bungalow solar is roof-mounted PV for bungalows and other single-storey buildings. Ground solar is the alternative when roof space is limited, shaded, or the wrong orientation.

The array is sized to the land that is available: a garden, a paddock edge, or open land. A quote starts from the enquiry form.
