Can ground-mounted solar panels be hidden from view?

Yes — they can be placed in the back of your property or behind landscaping to reduce visual impact. Many Texas homeowners prefer this for aesthetics and HOA compliance.

Is ground-mounted solar more expensive than rooftop solar?

Ground systems may have higher upfront costs due to additional materials like posts and trenching. However, they offer better energy performance, easier maintenance, and fewer long-term complications—especially in open-land areas.

Local factors like soil conditions and electrical infrastructure may affect final pricing.
