Not every property is suitable for roof-mounted solar panels. Limited roof space, shading or an ageing roof can make a ground-mounted solar PV system a more practical solution. By installing solar panels on suitable land, you can generate renewable electricity while keeping your roof clear for future maintenance or alterations.
At Sheffield Renewables, we assess your available land, energy usage and property layout before designing a ground-mounted solar PV system to suit your requirements. Whether you’re looking to reduce your electricity bills, power a farm or business, or prepare for battery storage and EV charging, we’ll recommend the most suitable solution for reliable, long-term performance.
Ground-mounted solar is ideal for properties where installing solar panels on the roof isn’t practical or where additional space is available for a larger solar PV system.
A professional site survey will help determine whether a ground-mounted installation is suitable. You may benefit from ground-mounted solar if:
Every ground-mounted solar PV system is designed to suit your available land, property layout and energy requirements, delivering reliable renewable energy for years to come.
We assess your available land, access, shading and energy usage to determine the most suitable location for your ground-mounted solar PV system.
We design a ground-mounted solar PV system to suit your property, available space and energy requirements.
We install a durable ground-mounted framework that provides a secure foundation for your solar panels and reliable long-term performance.
Our MCS-certified team installs high-performance solar panels to maximise renewable electricity generation and system efficiency.
Where appropriate, your ground-mounted solar PV system can be integrated with battery storage and EV charging, helping you make the most of the electricity you generate.
Once installation is complete, we test and commission your solar PV system to ensure it's operating safely and generating electricity as expected.
Make the most of your available land with a professionally installed ground-mounted solar PV system from Sheffield Renewables.

Every property is different, so our MCS-certified team assesses your site, available land and energy requirements to design a ground-mounted solar PV system that works for your property.
We'll visit your property to assess the available space, ground conditions and the best location for your ground-mounted solar panels.
Using the information from our survey, we'll design a solar PV system that's built around your energy usage and future plans.
Our engineers will install, test and commission your system, making sure everything is operating safely before showing you how it all works.

Planning requirements depend on the size, location and design of the installation. Some domestic ground-mounted solar systems may fall under permitted development rights if they meet the relevant criteria, while others will require planning permission. We’ll advise you on any planning requirements during your site survey.
Yes. Ground-mounted solar panels can often be installed on gently sloping land, provided the site is suitable. During our survey, we’ll assess the ground conditions and recommend the most appropriate mounting system for your property.
The amount of land required depends on the size of the solar PV system and your electricity usage. We’ll assess your available space and recommend a layout that makes the best use of your land while meeting your energy requirements.
Yes. In most cases, the surrounding land can continue to be used for gardens, paddocks or other suitable purposes, provided safe access to the solar PV system is maintained for inspection and maintenance.
If you’re considering future expansion, we’ll take this into account during the design stage and advise what’s possible based on the available space, electrical capacity and your energy requirements.
