GO SOLAR WITH PREMIER IMPROVEMENTS SOLAR | THE BEST SOLAR COMPANY IN CT | WEST HARTFORD CONNECTICUT
Imagine harnessing Connecticut’s abundant sunshine to slash your electric bills by up to 70 %. At Premier Improvements Solar, our custom ground mount solar systems deliver industry‑leading performance, unbeatable warranties, and tailored financing options—so you start saving from day one. Discover why hundreds of CT homeowners trust us to design, permit, and install their turnkey solar energy solutions.
Ground Mount Solar Systems allow you unmatched flexibility to capture Connecticut’s full sunshine potential. By mounting panels on the ground, you can precisely position and tilt each array for optimal sun exposure—day in and day out. This ideal orientation translates into higher energy production, deeper electric‑bill savings, and a faster return on your solar investment, all backed by our industry‑leading 25‑year system warranty.
Many homeowners believe solar panels belong only on the roof, but ground mounted solar arrays are equally effective—and often more efficient. If our free site assessment shows your roof isn’t ideal for solar, we’ll recommend a ground‑mount solution that installs quickly, maximizes output, and integrates seamlessly with your CT landscape. Enjoy the same premium performance and reliability you expect from Premier Improvements Solar—no matter where your panels live.
Ground mount solar arrays operate on the same photovoltaic principles as rooftop systems, but they’re installed on robust steel frames anchored directly into the ground. Here’s the process:
Site Assessment & Layout
We survey your property to find the sunniest, shade‑free area—optimizing tilt angle and row spacing for maximum year‑round output.
Precision Rack Installation
Heavy‑duty posts are driven or helical‑screwed into the earth, supporting adjustable rails that hold your solar modules at the perfect angle to capture sunlight.
Panel Mounting & Wiring
High‑efficiency PV panels are secured to the racks, then wired to inverters and your home’s electrical panel. This ground‑level setup allows for easy access, inspection, and cleaning.
Grid Connection & Commissioning
After installation, we handle all interconnection paperwork and utility inspections. Once approved, your system goes live—turning sunlight into clean energy for your home.
Ground‑mounted solar arrays unlock unique benefits for Connecticut homeowners, delivering higher performance, easier upkeep, and rock‑solid reliability.
With ground mount solar installations, you can deploy more solar panels than on a typical roof—turning open land into a high‑yield solar field. This expanded capacity translates into significantly higher kilowatt‑hour production and deeper electric‑bill savings year after year.
All wiring, inverters, and modules sit at ground level, making routine cleaning, inspections, and repairs quick and safe. No ladders or rooftop climbs—just straightforward servicing that keeps your system running at peak performance.
Our heavy‑duty racking systems are engineered to withstand strong winds, snow loads, and hail—common in New England winters. Ground mount solar arrays offer superior stability and resilience, ensuring uninterrupted clean power through every season.
Connecticut homeowners enjoy some of the most competitive solar incentives in the nation—making ground mount solar installations more affordable and rewarding than ever. By combining federal, state, and utility programs, you can recover up to 70 % of your total system cost in 2025. Here’s exactly how you maximize your savings:
Claim a direct reduction on your federal income taxes equal to 30 % of your solar system’s cost—including panels, inverters, racking, and installation labor. For example, a $30,000 ground mounted solar array delivers a $9,000 dollar‑for‑dollar credit on your next tax return.
Access up to $50,000 in below‑market, deferred‑payment financing to cover equipment and installation expenses. With interest rates as low as 2 % and no payments for the first 12 months, you immediately begin saving on your electric bills without the upfront cash outlay.
Passive Dispatch: Receive a one‑time incentive covering up to 50 % of your battery storage cost—capped at $16,000—by enrolling in off‑peak discharge programs that support the grid during summer peak hours.
Active Dispatch: Earn ongoing rewards (often $1,000+ per year) each time you dispatch stored energy back to the grid during critical events.
Together, these incentive layers make solar plus storage an exceptionally lucrative investment.
Under Connecticut’s net metering policies with Eversource and UICT, any excess electricity your ground‑mount system generates is credited to your account at retail rates—driving your meter backward and offsetting future bills. In addition, select towns offer local rebate programs to further subsidize installation costs.
With incentives covering up to 70 % of system costs and structured financing to eliminate upfront barriers, there has never been a better time to install a ground mounted solar array in Connecticut. Contact Premier Improvements Solar today for a complimentary site assessment and personalized incentive breakdown. Let us help you lock in your savings before these programs fill up!
Connecticut homeowners can choose from two industry‑leading ground mounted solar solutions—each designed to maximize sunlight capture, simplify installation, and deliver years of reliable performance.
Our most popular option, the canopy‑style ground mount anchors heavy‑duty steel posts directly into concrete or bedrock. Adjustable rails support multiple solar panels at the ideal tilt for your latitude—ensuring consistent, high‑output energy production.
Quick Installation: Efficient post‑driving or helical‑screw foundations.
Scalable Design: Easily expand your array by adding more panels or rows.
Durable Construction: Engineered for New England wind, snow, and ice loads.
Pole mounts elevate a smaller panel array on a single, reinforced steel pole—perfect for tight spaces or uneven terrain. These compact systems deliver premium performance and flexibility, even in areas with poor soil conditions.
Minimal Footprint: Requires less ground area—ideal for sites with limited open space.
Enhanced Access: Elevated panels are easy to clean and inspect.
Weather‑Resistant: High‑strength poles withstand heavy storms and shifting soils.
When planning a ground mounted solar installation, several critical factors ensure optimal performance, safety, and longevity:
Ground‑mount racks must be engineered for Connecticut’s extremes—heavy snow loads, high winds, and wide temperature swings.
Heavy‑Duty Frames: Choose galvanized steel or marine‑grade aluminum to resist corrosion.
Anchoring Systems: Helical piles or concrete footings ensure your array stays secure through every storm.
Unlike rooftop systems, ground mounts require dedicated acreage to achieve full output.
Land Footprint: Plan on approximately 0.1–0.2 acres per kW of panels.
Site Selection: Opt for a flat, south‑facing area with zero shade—from trees, buildings, or terrain—for uninterrupted sun exposure.
Proper groundwork and local approvals are non‑negotiable.
Grading & Excavation: Level uneven terrain and dig foundations to manufacturer specifications.
Permits & Zoning: Secure town planning and utility interconnection approvals before installation begins.
One of the greatest advantages of ground mounts is adjustability.
Tilt & Orientation: Fine‑tune panel angles seasonally—maximizing winter and summer production.
Expandable Layout: Easily add rows or integrate battery storage later without rooftop constraints.
Ground‑level access simplifies upkeep, but winter weather demands attention.
Snow Management: No overhead shade means snow can accumulate—plan for timely clearing in the cold months.
Routine Inspections: Ground mounts allow safe, hands‑on checks of wiring, inverters, and module integrity.
By addressing these considerations—robust racking, adequate land, thorough site prep, and proactive maintenance—you’ll ensure your ground mount solar array delivers maximum savings, reliability, and return on investment for decades to come.

Premier Improvements Solar delivers expert ground‑mount solar installations across Connecticut—maximize your savings and energy independence with our free, no‑obligation site assessment.
Most residential ground‑mounted arrays require roughly 200–400 sq ft per kW of solar panels. Exact space depends on panel wattage, row spacing, and tilt angle—but on average, a 10 kW system fits comfortably on 0.2–0.4 acres of open, south‑facing land.
Absolutely. Our ground‑mount racking and conduit layouts are designed to accommodate future battery storage installations. When you’re ready to add a solar battery, we simply integrate it into your existing system with minimal site work and no need to relocate panels.
