Frequently asked questions

Explore all FAQ
What makes Planted outperform conventional tracker and south-facing fixed-tilt projects?

Planted outperforms the systems most developers are used to, without the complexity, cost, or risk.

Trackers and south-facing fixed-tilt systems were built for an earlier solar era—when flat land was abundant, modules were expensive, and timelines were flexible. That’s not today’s reality.

Planted is engineered for the market you’re facing now. Our high-density, terrain-following arrays deliver equal or greater output using less land, less steel, and less grading. With proven components and no moving parts, our reliable, fixed-tilt systems go in fast and stay easy to maintain.

The result: lower costs, faster builds, higher labor productivity, and stronger project returns, with less risk at every step.

Can you get a permit? Is it bankable?

Planted’s platform is engineered to meet permitting requirements and bankability standards from the start. Our fixed-tilt arrays are free of moving parts and low impact on the land, making them inherently reliable and a better fit for more sites.

We reduce ground disturbance with minimal grading, simplifying stormwater compliance and reducing environmental impact. And because our systems are validated by leading independent engineers, well-established energy performance models, and a 20-year product warranty, financial partners can underwrite with confidence.

How do you mow and maintain the array?

Planted’s arrays are designed for low-effort upkeep. Robust, high-density fixed-tilt architecture with no motors or moving parts means long-term maintenance is simple and predictable, and our purpose-built O&M solutions keep performance high. Planted provides low-profile mowers that maintain vegetation effectively below the array blocks and trim around the foundations. Additionally, Planted arrays are compatible with grazing operations.
