Question:  why cann't I have my panels mounted on the ground if I have lots of open ground?
Answer:  You can choose to mount your panels on the ground or on the rooftop.

The proposed FIT rates for ground mounted Solar PV and rooftop Solar PV were determined using a cost based approach with a component included for a reasonable rate of return. We do however that not all residential Solar PV installations will be best situated on a rooftop and may be located in other locations. We will consider revising our criteria.
