Unlike rooftop systems, ground-mounted systems are not limited by roof space and can be scaled up easily for larger energy requirements. Different Types of Ground-Mounted Solar Power Plants Ground-mounted solar systems come in two main types: fixed-tilt and tracking systems. Fixed-Tilt Systems:
The first type, ground-mounted photovoltaic, has a fixed tilt angle for a fixed period of time. The second type uses a solar tracker system that follows Sun direction so that the maximum power is obtained. The solar tracking can be implemented with two axes of rotation (dual-axis trackers) or with a single axis of rotation (single-axis trackers).
