Ground mount system gives you the opportunity to maintain the systems. Keeping an eye on it, and wiping all the bird residue off it, along with dust and other debris.
And if you just look at this, this was washed yesterday. You can see much dust is on it in one day. That is unbelievable. But that's just the environment that we're in, so it doesn't matter. Clean it today, wash 'em today, and they're just as dusty tomorrow.
110%, ground mount is the way of the future, rather than getting on the roof. The need to have to upgrade your roof sheets, then you have to remove your solar. But not only that, it's easy to clean. We don't need to get up on the roof and have to dust them off. It's a very dusty environment as it is, but being on the ground mount system as I said, we've got the luxury of just being on foot, cleaning with an extendible squeegee here. The maintaining of the system's a lot easier, as opposed to having to climb the roof and run the risk of falling down and breaking your neck. Ground mount system's a better opportunity. There is no penetrations through the roof sheets, there's no upkeep of the roof. There's no buildup underneath the solar panels. Whereas on a roof mount, you will get leaves and debris. Yeah, it's easy to maintain. There's no risk factor involved in having to climb a ladder. The chances of falling and the like.
We're looking at a 9.3kW, and Thor has made the array, the frame itself. It's been hot-dipped in galv. Then we put the rail on top for the solar panels to go to that. So it's probably a little bit of an expensive way of doing it, but the finished product is absolutely superb.
What are the benefits of ground mounted solar power systems in regional areas?
