For farms and rural properties across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT, rising electricity costs and grid reliability challenges are driving more landowners to invest in ground mount solar systems.
A ground mount solar system is ideal for farms, lifestyle properties and rural businesses with available land. Unlike rooftop solar, panels are installed on a purpose-built structure fixed into the ground, allowing the system to be positioned for strong solar generation, easier access and future expansion.
At Solar Link Australia, we supply ground mount solar kits and also provide complete supply and installation services. We design solar, battery and off-grid systems for rural properties, farms, sheds, workshops, irrigation systems, cool rooms and high-energy agricultural operations.
What is a Ground Mount Solar System?
A ground mount solar system is a solar panel system installed on a frame anchored into the ground rather than attached to a roof.
This makes it a strong option for rural properties where roof space may be limited, shaded, ageing, incorrectly orientated or unsuitable for solar. Ground mounted solar panels can be positioned to maximise sunlight exposure and are easier to access for cleaning, inspection and maintenance.
Why Ground Mount Solar is Ideal for Farms and Rural Properties
Ground mount solar is particularly suited to farms and regional properties because it allows landowners to turn unused land into a productive energy asset.
Key benefits include:
- Better panel positioning compared with many rooftopsÂ
- Scalable system design for growing energy needsÂ
- Easier access for servicing and maintenanceÂ
- Suitable for large solar systemsÂ
- Ideal for farms, sheds, workshops, irrigation pumps and cool roomsÂ
- Can be paired with battery storageÂ
- Can support grid-connected or off-grid applicationsÂ
For many farms, electricity use is highest during daylight hours. This means solar power can directly offset energy used by machinery, pumps, refrigeration, processing equipment and general farm operations.
Ground Mount Solar Kits – Supply Only
Solar Link Australia can supply high-quality ground mount solar kits for projects across VIC, NSW, QLD, SA, TAS and ACT.
Supply-only kits may be suitable for builders, electricians, solar installers, farmers or property owners managing their own installation project.
Our ground mount kits are designed to provide a practical and durable foundation for solar panel installations on rural and agricultural land.
Ground Mount Solar Supply and Installation
For customers who want a complete solution, Solar Link Australia also offers full ground mount solar supply and installation.
Our turnkey service can include:
- Site assessmentÂ
- Solar system designÂ
- Ground mount kit supplyÂ
- Solar panel and inverter installationÂ
- Battery integrationÂ
- Off-grid system designÂ
- Grid-connected system setupÂ
- Project coordinationÂ
We tailor each system to suit the property, energy usage, available land, budget and long-term energy goals.
Solar Battery Storage for Farms
Adding battery storage to a ground mount solar system allows farms and rural properties to store excess solar energy generated during the day and use it later.
Battery storage can help:
- Reduce reliance on the electricity gridÂ
- Increase solar self-consumptionÂ
- Provide backup power during outagesÂ
- Reduce exposure to peak electricity ratesÂ
- Improve energy independenceÂ
- Support off-grid or hybrid solar systemsÂ
For farms with evening loads, refrigeration, pumps, sheds, workshops or essential equipment, a solar battery can significantly improve the value of a solar system.
Off-Grid Solar Systems for Rural Properties
Many rural and remote properties face expensive grid connection costs, weak supply or unreliable electricity. In these cases, an off-grid solar system may be the most practical long-term solution.
A typical off-grid system includes:
- Solar panelsÂ
- Ground mount solar framingÂ
- Inverter/chargerÂ
- Battery storageÂ
- Backup generator if requiredÂ
- Monitoring and energy managementÂ
Off-grid solar systems are designed to operate independently from the electricity network. This gives rural property owners greater control over their power supply and can reduce the need for costly grid upgrades or new connections.
Solar Link Australia can design off-grid and hybrid solar systems for farms, rural homes, sheds, workshops and remote properties across Victoria, NSW, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT.

Common Questions About Ground Mount Solar
Is ground mount solar better than rooftop solar for farms?
Ground mount solar can be better than rooftop solar for farms where there is available land, limited roof space, poor roof orientation or large energy demand. It allows flexible placement, easier maintenance and simple future expansion.
Can ground mount solar be used with batteries?
Yes. Ground mount solar systems can be combined with battery storage to store excess solar energy, reduce grid reliance and provide backup power.
Is ground mount solar suitable for off-grid properties?
Yes. Ground mount solar is commonly used for off-grid rural properties, especially where grid connection is expensive, unreliable or unavailable.
Do you supply ground mount solar kits?
Yes. Solar Link Australia can supply ground mount solar kits and can also provide complete supply and installation services.
What areas do you service?
Solar Link Australia services Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT.
