An alternative to a rooftop solar panel system is a ground-mounted solar racking system. The decision to use a ground-mounted solar rack usually has to do with aesthetics and space.  Often electric solar panels and pool panels will compete for the same optimum roof space, but it can also be a great solution for customers with a larger lot.

A ground-mounted solar system can be extremely efficient at capturing energy.
