Up on the Roof or Down on the Ground: Which is the Best Solar Option for You?

At Helio GreenTech, we understand that choosing the right solar panel installation for your home or business can be a daunting task. There are many factors to consider, such as which solar panel system is best suited for your energy needs, which will be the most cost-effective, and which will be the most aesthetically pleasing.

One of the most significant factors to consider is whether to choose a ground mount solar or rooftop solar system. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages, and the decision ultimately depends on the unique needs and circumstances of the property owner.

Ground mount solar systems offer several benefits. For instance, ground mounts are more efficient than rooftop systems because they are installed at the ideal angle and direction for capturing the most sunlight. Ground mounts also allow for easier access and maintenance compared to rooftop systems, making them a popular choice for larger commercial projects.

On the other hand, rooftop solar systems are an excellent option for homeowners who have limited yard space or who want to maintain the aesthetics of their property. Rooftop systems are also generally less expensive than ground mount systems since they don't require additional materials or labor for the installation.

Helio GreenTech is a local family owned solar company, we offer both ground mount and rooftop solar options for our customers in Kansas City, Johnson County Kansas, Topeka, Lee's Summit, Saint Joseph, and Independence. We work with each customer to determine the best solar panel installation for their unique needs and circumstances.

Additionally, we work with your power company like Independence Power and Light (IPL) and Evergy, the local utility company, to ensure our customers can take full advantage of net metering. Net metering allows customers to receive credits on their electric bill for the excess energy their solar system produces and feeds back into the grid. This means that customers can potentially earn money from their solar investment while also reducing their carbon footprint.

Whether you choose a ground mount or rooftop solar system, investing in solar energy is a smart choice for homeowners and business owners alike. With Helio GreenTech, we make the process simple, efficient, and cost-effective, so you can start enjoying the benefits of solar energy as soon as possible.
