Why Invest In a Ground Mount Solar System?

A ground mount solar system offers unique benefits that make it a smart choice for many homeowners. Here’s why it could be the perfect solar solution for your property:

Maximized Energy Production

Ground-mounted panels are installed at the ideal angle and orientation for capturing sunlight, ensuring you generate the most power possible. With perfect south-facing exposure, you can achieve optimal energy efficiency year-round.

Easier Maintenance

Cleaning and maintaining ground-mounted solar panels is simple and hassle-free. No ladders or roof access required—everything is conveniently at ground level.

Customizable Design

Unlike rooftop systems, ground-mounted installations aren’t limited by roof size or shape. Whether you need a compact setup or a larger system for greater energy needs, ground-mounted solar gives you the flexibility to design your system exactly how you want it.

Preserve Your Roof

If your roof isn’t suitable for solar—due to shading, age, or structural concerns—a ground-mounted system offers the perfect alternative. Plus, it leaves your roof completely untouched.

Ideal for Properties with Land or Acreage

Do you have unused land or live in a rural area with open space? Ground-mounted systems make excellent use of available land, providing renewable energy without compromising your home’s aesthetics or structure.

Tax Incentives and Rebates

Going solar has never been more affordable, thanks to federal tax credits, state rebates, and local incentives. These financial benefits won’t last forever, so the best time to go solar is now. We’ll help you navigate these opportunities to maximize your savings.

Ground Mount Solar Installation vs. Rooftop Solar Panels

Not sure whether a ground mount or rooftop solar system is right for you? Here’s how they compare:

  • Installation Flexibility
    Ground-mounted systems can be placed in optimal locations on your property, while rooftop solar is limited by the structure of your home.
  • Energy Efficiency
    Ground-mounted panels can deliver higher energy output since they’re positioned for maximum sunlight. Rooftop systems are constrained by roof orientation and size.
  • Cost
    While rooftop installations are generally more affordable upfront, ground-mounted systems can offset their higher initial cost with greater long-term energy production.
  • Maintenance
    Ground-mounted systems are easier to access for cleaning and repairs, while rooftop systems require more effort to maintain.

Jeremy Roos

I was in the solar business for years before accepting a position as an Energy Manager for a Native Tribe. I still receive inquiries from friends, family, and former customers to advise them on going solar. I have worked with a handful of companies, and Supreme is the best. While they are smaller than other companies, that works in their favor.

Amazing service and work done by these guys. I received great attention from the sales rep, he kept me posted on all visits from his installers, Edison and city inspectors. The installers took 1 day for 30 panels install. They kept the install clean and had zero issues. Very satisfied with the whole process and will definitely recommend to anyone looking for solar.

Cynthia McFarling


We financed our solar system and have had it installed for almost two years. We have had a credit true up this far. This company is very professional and the customer service is phenomenal. From the initial purchase to installation, they obtained permits, offered financing options, communicated with us every step of the way and had our system live within two weeks.

Lisa Quillen

Mike and the team were EXTREMELY helpful and knowledgeable. All our questions were answered immediately, and we were never left with any concerns. The installation was quick (only a few hours for 30+ panels) and the install team was friendly. As a bonus, the system is super affordable and looks great – not an eye sore like some systems you see.  I will 100% recommend to anyone considering Solar!

David Sandoval


Michael and his team handle everything with ease. Stress free, from start to finish it was about 4 weeks. Very professional and knowledgeable with their product. Would recommend anyone looking into solar to call these guys first.

Just wanted to say I would recommend this company to anyone! They answered all of my questions, very knowledgeable, and even showed me how the monitoring system worked. Their financing was $0 down and the payment was lower than my electric bill. Definitely gonna be recommending to my friends and family.
