A ground-mounted solar array for acreage, farms and sites with unsuitable roofs, including footings, trenching, fencing and panels set at a strong tilt for year-round output.
From $11,900 (6.6 kW array, installed), including GST. Indicative starting price: the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment.
Not every property has a roof that suits solar. Old or fragile roofing, heavy shading, heritage restrictions or a small roof area can all rule it out. On acreage, farms and larger business sites, a ground-mounted array is often the better answer: panels face the ideal direction at a well-chosen angle, stay easy to clean and inspect, and can be sized without roof limits.
A 6.6 kW ground-mounted array starts from $11,900 installed. This is an indicative starting price; the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment of the ground, location and cable route.
Ground mounts reward careful planning. Cable size must suit the run length to limit energy losses, footings must suit the soil, and the array needs protection from livestock, machinery and mowers. We work across Sydney and regional NSW, including the Southern Highlands, Blue Mountains, Bathurst, Orange and Goulburn, so rural sites are familiar ground for our team. We also plan for what comes next, such as pumps, sheds, a battery or backup power, so the system can grow with the property rather than needing to be redesigned.
Rural, acreage and business properties with open land but shaded, small or unsuitable roofs.
Incentives: an eligible grid-connected ground-mounted system can receive the STC discount, roughly $1,700-$1,800 off a typical 6.6 kW system installed in 2026. The value steps down each 1 January, so confirm current values before signing.
Approvals: council requirements vary with zoning, array size and bushfire or flood considerations, and grid connection needs network approval.
Tilt: around Sydney, a tilt of roughly 30-35 degrees usually gives strong year-round output, while steeper angles favour winter generation.
Price drivers: rock or soft soil, trenching distance, fencing, access for machinery and array size.
1. Request a site assessment and mark out the area you are considering.
2. We assess ground conditions, orientation, the cable route and approval needs.
3. You receive a design with footing type, tilt and a fixed-price quote.
4. Once you accept, we lodge the network application and any approvals required.
5. We install footings, frame, panels, trenching and fencing, then connect and commission the system.
The price shown is an indicative starting price for a 6.6 kW array; the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment and quote.
Rock, flood-prone ground, long trenching runs or underground services may add cost and are confirmed before works start.
Council approval may be required depending on zoning and site constraints, and connection is subject to network approval.
The site must allow safe access for installation vehicles and equipment.
Fencing, landscaping and vegetation clearing beyond the array footprint are quoted separately.
