Ground Screw Solar Array Installs: The Ideal Foundation for Solar Energy Projects

M&M Quality Homes and No More Digging have cultivated a thriving partnership based on the delivery of ground screw solutions in central Scotland. No More Digging can offer a specialised Solar Array Installation service that takes advantage of a robust ground screw installation system as their foundation.

 

The No More Digging team can install a stable and sustainable foundation for ground-mounted solar panels of any size or scale. These ground screw systems ensure rapid installation, long-term durability, and minimal environmental disruption.

Whether you’re setting up a small residential solar system or a large-scale commercial solar farm, our ground screws deliver the strength and flexibility required to support solar arrays in all types of terrain. No More Digging handle the full installation process, ensuring your solar panels are securely anchored and optimally positioned for maximum energy efficiency.

Solar Racking Systems

Designed to accommodate both residential and commercial projects of any scale, our two racking options, the SolarTripod and SolarTerrace, provide a comprehensive foundation and racking system to safeguard and optimise your solar investment.

SolarTripod

The SolarTripod is an efficient solution for single-panel installations and smaller spaces, designed to maximise area usage with portrait-oriented modules. With adjustable supports and rails, the SolarTripod allows for precise positioning, giving you the flexibility to angle your solar panels between 15º and 30º for optimal sun exposure. This system is ideal for smaller residential projects or installations requiring precise placement.

SolarTerrace

The SolarTerrace system is an engineered aluminium racking solution, pre-assembled for rapid installation and suited to projects of all sizes. This versatile system supports large-scale commercial installations as well as residential solar arrays, significantly reducing installation time and costs. With high-quality components, the SolarTerrace provides a durable and efficient solution for projects requiring a stable, quickly installed structure.

10-Year Guarantee

Both the SolarTripod and SolarTerrace come with a 10-year guarantee from the date of installation, reflecting the durability and quality of these systems.

Fast, Efficient Installation

Ground screw foundations for Solar Panel Arrays by M&M Quality Homes can be installed quickly, significantly reducing setup time compared to traditional concrete bases. This allows your solar panel project to be completed sooner, minimising downtime and accelerating you toward your return on investment.

Minimal Environmental Impact

Ground screw installations for Solar Panel Arrays avoid the need for extensive excavation or concrete pouring, resulting in a low-impact solution that preserves the surrounding landscape. This  system is ideal for projects that prioritise sustainability and eco-friendly practices.

Long- Term Durability

Our ground screws are galvanised to meet BS EN ISO 1461:2009 standards, providing long-lasting corrosion resistance. This ensures the foundations of your solar array remain robust and reliable for decades, offering a life expectancy of over 76 years in typical soil conditions.

Cost Effective

Ground Screw Solar Panel Arrays represent the option that takes advantage of reduced labour costs and faster installation times - offering a more economical foundation system compared to traditional methods. Their reusability also makes them an ideal choice for temporary or evolving solar projects, helping to maximise long-term cost savings.

The Advantages of Our Ground Screw Solar Array Installations

Ground-Based Solar Arrays - Key Facts

Ground-mounted solar arrays are significantly easier to access than roof-mounted systems. This allows for quicker and safer inspections, cleaning, and any necessary repairs without the need for specialised equipment or personnel to navigate roof surfaces.

Easier Access

01

Dust and dirt can accumulate on solar panels and reduce efficiency. With ground-mounted arrays, regular cleaning is more straightforward, as there’s no need to climb onto a roof, meaning panels can be cleaned more frequently and effectively, optimising performance.

Simplified Cleaning

02

Solar panels perform best when they are cooler. Ground-mounted panels typically allow for better airflow underneath, keeping the panels at a lower temperature and maintaining efficiency levels, reducing the likelihood of heat-related degradation over time.

Enhanced Cooling

03

Roof-mounted systems are subject to potential issues caused by roof deterioration, like shifting tiles or leaks, which may affect the panels. Ground-mounted arrays avoid these roof-related risks, ensuring a longer, more stable lifespan for both the panels and the supporting structures.

Reduced Wear and Tear

04

As technology advances, ground-mounted systems offer more flexibility for modifications, such as adding more panels, adjusting the tilt for seasonal optimisation, or upgrading components. These tasks are simpler and more cost-effective when performed on the ground.
