What do I do with the ground under a ground mounted solar array?

There are a variety of options you can choose for landscaping underneath ground mounted solar panels. Plants such as wildflowers, vegetables and grasses often grow well under solar panels. Shaded plants require less water and help to keep the temperature under the panels cooler, in turn maximizing the panels efficiency. Other options include rocks or mulch on top of landscape cloth to reduce the possibility of unwanted growth for a cleaner lower maintenance appearance.
