[Solar 101: The Fundamentals](https://knowledge.projectsolar.com/migration/solar-basics?hsLang=en#solar-101-the-fundamentals) # What is a Ground Mounted System? ## Ground mounted systems can be beneficial for those with large properties and limited solar roof irradiance. **Ground-mounted solar systems**, as opposed to **rooftop or roof-mounted solar systems,** are solar panels mounted on racking fixed to the ground. Ground mount racking can come in many shapes, including high-tech (but expensive) setups that track the motion of the sun through the sky, concrete footings, or large screws that are turned into the ground. Project Solar offers ground mounted systems for full install projects in most areas. The additional equipment and labor required for a ground mounted system results in higher costs, so reach out to our customer success team to get the best information on pricing and process.   - [Solar Basics](https://knowledge.projectsolar.com/migration/solar-basics?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Solar 101: The Fundamentals](https://knowledge.projectsolar.com/migration/solar-basics?hsLang=en#solar-101-the-fundamentals) - [Solar Insights: Deeper, More Technical Info](https://knowledge.projectsolar.com/migration/solar-basics?hsLang=en#solar-insights-deeper-more-technical-info) - [Custom Solar Projects](https://knowledge.projectsolar.com/migration/custom-solar-projects?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Full Service Install](https://knowledge.projectsolar.com/migration/custom-solar-projects?hsLang=en#full-service-install) - [Financial Information](https://knowledge.projectsolar.com/migration/financial-information?hsLang=en) - [Project Solar Power Bank Products](https://knowledge.projectsolar.com/migration/project-solar-power-bank-products?hsLang=en) - [Additional Info](https://knowledge.projectsolar.com/migration/additional-info?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://knowledge.projectsolar.com/hs-fs/hubfs/project%20solar%20logo%20-%20for%20light%20bg-1.png?width=201&height=17&name=project%20solar%20logo%20-%20for%20light%20bg-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://projectsolar.com) At Project Solar, we aim to make solar so incredibly easy and affordable that it becomes the financially prudent energy option for all homeowners.
