There are lots of factors to consider in the choice between a ground mount and a roof mount. Here I go through the pros and cons. I also touch on the utility of solar optimizers with an unshaded array. • Pros of ground mount: More efficient. Easier to work on. Easier to clean off. • Cons of a ground mount: More expensive up front. Takes up real estate. Different look. • Pros of a roof mount: Cheaper. Quick installation. • Cons of a roof mount: Less efficient. Lots of additional cost when roof needs replacing. Harder to work on, especially on steep roofs. Harder to clean panels, sometimes dangerous depending on roof pitch. • All of my solar videos: • FarmCraft101 Solar Video Series • Notes on optimizers: They help my unshaded array in a number of ways. Obviously with snow as I show in the video, but also if a bird poops on a panel. There is even variability between the panels that makes a difference. Some panels just work slightly better than others, and the optimizers allow the better performing panels to produce what they can above the weaker panels. Without the optimizers I would lose that additional production. The counter argument is that the optimizers cost money, and I might never recuperate that cost with the additional efficiency I gain, which is admittedly small (and almost impossible to quantify accurately). However, my install was done through a co-op which required that I get the same package as everybody else which included the optimizers. My overall cost for the install was much cheaper because of that, so I'm happy with it. • Iron ridge ground mount system: • https://www.ironridge.com/ground-base... • MERCH STORE!: • www.farmcraft101.comFacebook: • / farmcraft101 • Patreon: • / farmcraft101
