7kW Solar Panel Ground Mount Installation
DIY Solar Kit

This kit is the best ground mount kit for property owners with a problematic roof or suitable ground space. This option is slightly cheaper at $1.63/w with a capacity of 7kW. This kit is sized to suit the average US home power usage. Ground-mount solar is traditionally more expensive to install in the greater context of solar. But this kit’s price point offers the best ROI when combining the savings from your DIY labor, a single-string inverter, and good site exposure. This ground mount option is slightly cheaper at $1.63/w vs. the 8kW roof mount at $1.73/W.

 

Provided by GoGreenSolar, all materials meet industry standards. The kit includes everything solar-related you need, and they provide strong customer service, from preliminary designs to clear installation instructions. Although this may take a bit more time to install than a roof-mounted system, there are significant advantages to installing on grade.

 

This kit is perfect for homeowners who:

  • Want to reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint
  • Have basic DIY skills and are comfortable working on their roof
  • Are looking for a cost-effective way to go solar
  • Want the flexibility to expand their system in the future
  • Property owners with a suitable exposed site

Key Product Features

    • 18 Tier-1 PVs (Utility Grade Solar Panels
      • Fierce market competition between PV module manufacturers has produced a tier system of quality standardization. Tier 1 (T1) panels are the highest grade panels available, used commonly by utility-scale developers. All panels in this kit will include cut sheets (the panel’s performance specifications), showing gradual curves of degradation and average production losses of approximately .08 % per year.
    • 1 Grid-tied SMA Sunny Boy string Inverter
      • SMA has a history of making well-known and reliable string inverters. The Sunny Boy is an industry standard for residential installations. 
    • Iron Ridge Racking Materials
      • Well-known and domestically produced Iron Ridge rails hold the panels in a tight grid. The legs (or poles) that hold the secured array at tilt are also included. The included blue chip aluminum rails and bracket materials can keep your modules firmly in place against severe snow loads or hurricane-strength wind uplift. 
    • SMA Monitoring Platform
      • The Sunny Boy Inverter will be configured with your Wifi for real-time production monitoring. Off-grid locations without Internet connection can also routinely log in and upload production data. 
    • GoGreenSolar Energy/Design Analysis
      • Soft costs (design, energy analysis, permitting, engineering, interconnection, etc.) are some of the highest costs in solar development. This kit includes more than just materials. GoGreenSolar includes a basic usage analysis, so your kit is sized appropriately for free.
    • Clear Instructions
      • If you’re like me, YouTube will be your primary source for learning how to install or fix something. However, with many solar racking manufacture videos geared to provide training for professional installers, you may not find exact technical videos for all the parts included. This kit includes clear instructions, helping you understand how to work with exactly what you have. 

Pros

  • Significant cost savings of $12,000-17,000 compared to a professional installation
  • All-in-one solar kit
  • High-grade panels and inverter for high-end performance
  • Easy to install with comprehensive instructions
  • Scalable design for future expansion
  • Included power calculation for your system size

Cons

  • Requires some basic DIY skills and tools
  • Kit includes only solar-specific equipment. Wire, conduit, fittings, breakers, AC/DC Disconnects (if required), junction boxes, and a sub panel (if needed) can be purchased at your local hardware store.
  • It does not include Plan Sets or interconnection submission, an additional (but reasonable) fee offered by GoGreenSolar.

Warranties

Panels are under warranty for 25 years and emphase inverters for 15 years. Panel issues are less common; however, even high-quality inverters fail after approximately 15 years. Luckily, the manufacturer provides product warranties on the two main components that slowly degrade over time. GoGreenSolar provides clear warranty information inside this kit, ensuring you are covered if something goes wrong.
