Large-Scale Power from Open Land

Ground mount solar systems are free-standing photovoltaic installations built directly on open terrain. Unlike rooftop systems, they are not restricted by structural limitations β€” making them the ideal choice for large-scale commercial, industrial, and utility-grade power generation across Rajasthan and beyond.

FGPS Solar designs, supplies, installs, and commissions ground mount plants from 100 kW to multi-megawatt scale. Every project is engineered for optimal tilt, minimal shading losses, and decades of reliable output under India's high-irradiance conditions.

Six Key Advantages

Ground mount installations eliminate the trade-offs of rooftop systems and unlock the full potential of solar energy at any scale.

πŸ“

Optimal Tilt Angle

Arrays are mounted at the ideal latitude-specific tilt (typically 22–28Β° in Rajasthan), maximising annual energy capture independent of roof pitch or orientation.

πŸ—οΈ

No Roof Constraints

Structural load, waterproofing, and roof age are non-issues. Your solar plant can be sized purely to match your energy demand and land availability.

πŸ”§

Easy Maintenance Access

Panels at ground level are straightforward to clean, inspect, and repair β€” reducing O&M costs and downtime over a 25-year plant life.

πŸ“ˆ

Scalable Design

Start at 100 kW and expand to 5 MW or more as your energy needs grow. Modular racking systems make future capacity additions simple and cost-effective.

⚑

Higher Energy Yield

Better airflow around panels keeps module temperatures lower, improving efficiency by up to 5% compared with thermally constrained rooftop systems.

🌿

Dual Land Utilisation

The land beneath and between panel rows can continue to support low-height crops, grazing, or groundcover β€” delivering agrivoltaic benefits at no extra cost.

Built for Every Large Energy Consumer

Ground mount systems are the preferred choice wherever land is available and energy demand is high.

🏭

Manufacturing Factories

Replace costly grid power with captive solar generation, dramatically lowering per-unit production costs and achieving RE100 targets.

🌾

Farms & Agribusinesses

Power irrigation pumps, cold storage, and processing units with clean solar energy while keeping unused land productive.

🏒

Warehouses & Logistics

Large open plots adjacent to warehouses are ideal for ground mount plants, directly offsetting 24/7 operational loads.

πŸ”Œ

Utility Companies

Develop utility-scale IPP or captive projects with grid export capability under PM-KUSUM and other government schemes.

πŸ›οΈ

Government Projects

Meet RPO obligations, power municipal facilities, and deploy renewable energy on vacant public land under state & central schemes.

🏘️

Real Estate Developers

Power townships, SEZs, and industrial parks with green energy from day one β€” enhancing asset value and attracting ESG-driven tenants.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before starting your ground mount solar project.

As a general rule, you need approximately 4–5 acres per MW of installed capacity in Rajasthan. This accounts for inter-row spacing to minimise shading losses, access pathways for maintenance, inverter stations, and safety setbacks. Our site assessment team can survey your land and provide an exact layout plan.
Ground mount systems can be installed on most terrain types β€” flat land, gently sloping sites, and even uneven ground with appropriate civil work. Soil testing determines pile depth for the galvanised steel mounting structure. Rocky terrain may require ground-screwed or ballasted foundations instead of driven piles. We conduct a complete geotechnical assessment as part of the DPR process.
Yes. Several schemes apply depending on your project type. PM-KUSUM Component A supports farmers setting up ground mount plants on barren land and selling power to DISCOMs. Industrial and commercial captive projects benefit from accelerated depreciation (40% in Year 1 under the Income Tax Act), ISTS charge waiver for inter-state renewable projects, and Rajasthan state RPO purchase obligations. Our team handles subsidy applications and net-metering or open-access approvals end-to-end.
Timelines vary by capacity. A 100–500 kW plant typically takes 6–10 weeks from contract signing to grid commissioning. A 1 MW plant takes 10–14 weeks, while a 5 MW plant requires 16–24 weeks including civil work, structure erection, module installation, electrical works, and DISCOM synchronisation testing. Permit processing time from local authorities can add 2–4 weeks and is factored into our project schedule.
After 25 years, solar panels typically retain 80–85% of their original output and can continue generating economically for several more years. You have three options: re-power with newer, higher-efficiency modules on the existing structure; refurbish aging components; or decommission and restore the land. Solar module recycling infrastructure is rapidly maturing in India. Your land retains full usability β€” the galvanised steel structures are removable and the foundations are minimal-impact. Our O&M team can assist with any end-of-life planning.
