Ground-mounted photovoltaic systems

Ground-mounted photovoltaic systems are solar installations in which photovoltaic modules are installed in open areas such as farmland, bodies of water or brownfield sites to convert sunlight into electrical energy. They generate sustainable electricity and contribute to the energy transition. Approvals are required, and the legal framework varies depending on the location and country. In Germany, the construction of ground-mounted PV systems is eligible for support under the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) 2023. It is advisable to familiarise yourself with the specific requirements and approval procedures in advance.12
