Many people have questions about the amount of space needed to install a solar ground system. This blog will cover the space requirements for a solar ground system and discuss some installation pointers to help readers better understand and plan for a solar ground system installation.

Space requirements for solar ground systems:

The space requirement for a solar ground system depends mainly on the following factors:

l Number of solar panels: The size of a solar ground system is directly related to the number of solar panels. Generally, each solar panel covers an area of between about 1.6 square meters and 2.5 square meters, depending on the size and type of solar panels used, with larger system capacities usually requiring larger installation areas. Therefore, the cumulative area of the PV panels as well as the required spacing and access need to be considered when calculating the space required.

l Mounting Angle and Spacing: Solar ground-mounted systems require proper mounting angles and spacing to maximize solar energy collection efficiency. Generally speaking, the mounting angle of solar panels is usually between 25 degrees and 35 degrees, while the spacing between solar panels can be set according to the actual situation, and the safe spacing between the racking needs to be considered in order to ensure sufficient space for personnel to carry out maintenance and cleaning operations.

Installation points:

l Ground Selection: It is crucial to select a suitable ground for installation. The ground should be flat and stable, with no obstructions to affect the normal operation of the solar panels.

l Avoiding Shadows: Ensure that the solar ground system will not be affected by the shadows of the surrounding buildings, trees or other objects to ensure normal power generation.

l Wire and cable arrangement: Reasonably arrange the wires and cables of the solar energy system to reduce resistance and wire loss and improve system efficiency.

l Ground anti-corrosion treatment: Considering the long-term exposure to the natural environment, appropriate ground anti-corrosion treatment is carried out to extend the service life of the system.

Reasonable installation and planning will determine the system's power generation efficiency and performance. Through rational design and construction, solar ground systems can realize efficient power generation in a small space, contributing to the utilization of renewable energy sources。
