Yes, you can place solar panels on the ground in your backyard. This is called a ground-mounted solar panel installation, and it can be a good option if you have a large backyard or if your roof is not suitable for installing solar panels.

Ground-mounted solar panel installations have several advantages over rooftop installations. For example, ground-mounted panels can be installed at an optimal angle to maximize the amount of sunlight they receive, and they can be easily adjusted throughout the year to optimize their performance. Ground-mounted panels are also typically easier to install and maintain than rooftop panels.

There are also some disadvantages to ground-mounted solar panel installations. For example, ground-mounted panels may require a larger space than rooftop panels, and they may be more susceptible to shading from trees or other objects. In addition, ground-mounted panels may be more visible from the street, which could be a concern for some homeowners.
