Does higher ground clearance cost more and is it worth it?

A higher solar mount will mean that a project requires a little more upfront cost, but compared to the benefits of higher ground clearance, it’s a high-return investment. Higher ground clearance means land below the can be more easily used and maintained. It fosters improved PV module output through better airflow and temperature reduction. It also means that the solar array is kept free and clear of snow, fallen leaves, rain runoff, and other obstructions that can hinder production or cause damage. In general, extra ground clearance amounts to better performance, lower maintenance, and excellent longevity in a ground-based solar setup.
