What are ground-mounted solar panels?

Ground-mounted solar panels are mounted on frames or poles and are securely anchored to the ground instead of a roof. This setup makes them a more versatile and efficient alternative to rooftop systems. Ground-mounted solar panels work particularly well for properties with lots of open space.
