Electric11 provides ground-mounted solar panels Norfolk homeowners, farms, rural properties, and businesses can use when roof-mounted solar is not the best fit. If your roof is shaded, too small, poorly positioned, or unsuitable for panels, a ground-mounted solar PV system can give you more flexibility over placement, angle, and system size.
Our Norfolk-based solar installers design ground-mounted systems around your land, energy usage, electrical setup, and long-term savings goals. We can also help you explore battery storage, maintenance, and wider solar PV options so your system is built for practical, reliable performance.

Ground-mounted solar panels in Norfolk usually cost more than standard roof-mounted solar because the installation may involve groundworks, mounting frames, trenching, cabling, DNO checks, and more detailed site planning.
Electric11 provides solar and battery installations from £4,500, with the final price depending on system size, land conditions, battery storage, electrical requirements, and how far the array needs to sit from the property.
The best way to get an accurate price is to book a site survey. We will review your available land, current electricity usage, solar generation potential, and whether a ground-mounted system is the right option for your property.

A ground-mounted solar PV system can be a strong option if you have unused land, a large garden, a rural property, a farm, or a commercial site with space available. It can also work well when your roof is shaded, fragile, north-facing, heavily interrupted by windows or chimneys, or not large enough for the system size you want.
Ground-mounted systems give more flexibility over the panel angle and direction, which can help improve generation where the land allows. They are also easier to access for cleaning, inspection, and maintenance compared with panels installed on a roof.
If your property is better suited to a roof-mounted system, visit our main solar panel installer Norfolk page for Electric11’s main solar PV installation service.

| Factor | Ground-Mounted Solar | Roof-Mounted Solar |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Land, farms, rural homes, unsuitable roofs | Homes with suitable roof space |
| Positioning | More flexible angle and orientation | Limited by roof direction and pitch |
| Access | Easier for servicing and cleaning | Requires safe roof access |
| Cost | Usually higher due to frames and groundworks | Usually lower for standard installs |
| Planning | May need more checks | Often simpler for domestic properties |
| System size | Can allow larger arrays where land permits | Limited by roof space |
A ground-mounted solar system is usually best when performance, flexibility, and available land matter more than achieving the lowest installation cost. A roof-mounted system is often more cost-effective when the roof is suitable and has enough clear space.

Some ground-mounted solar panel systems may fall under permitted development, but this depends on the size, location, land use, property type, and whether the site is listed, protected, or in a conservation area.
Before installation, it is important to check whether your system needs planning approval or prior approval. Electric11 can help you understand what may need checking during the survey and design stage, but homeowners and businesses should always confirm requirements with the local planning authority.
For official guidance, see the Planning Portal guidance on solar panel planning permission.

A ground-mounted solar PV system is made up of more than just the panels. Electric11 can design the full system around your property, energy use, and available land.
Your system may include solar panels, ground mounting frames, an inverter, battery storage, monitoring equipment, cabling, protection devices, and connection to your property’s electrical supply.
Battery storage can be especially useful with ground-mounted solar because it allows you to store excess daytime generation and use more of your own electricity later in the day. This can reduce reliance on the grid and improve the long-term value of your solar installation.
