Modular Solar: Rethinking Solar—Ground-Mounted, Portable, Scalable and Modular.
The world urgently needs more solar energy to meet climate goals and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. However, large-scale solar farms face land use restrictions, rooftop solar remains expensive and difficult to install, and traditional solar solutions often lack flexibility. For solar to expand rapidly, we need a simpler, more adaptable approach—one that removes these barriers and makes clean energy accessible anywhere.
Modular Solar has developed a groundbreaking, patented solar unit that sits on the ground and can be deployed anywhere. Unlike traditional solar systems, these units require no complex installation, can be connected together for increased power output, and can be easily relocated—offering a level of flexibility and convenience that the solar industry has never seen before. This innovation allows homeowners, businesses, and landowners to generate clean energy without long-term commitments or infrastructure changes, making solar power more practical, scalable, and widely available.
Greenbackers is pleased to introduce Modular Solar, a company that has designed and patented a lightweight, portable, and scalable ground-mounted solar unit made from recycled plastic. This innovative solution can be deployed anywhere, is easy to move, and offers a new way to bring clean energy to those who need it—without requiring rooftop installation or complex infrastructure.
Why Modular Solar:
- Innovative technology: Modular Solar solar unit system requires no professional installation, can be adjusted for optimal energy capture, and is designed for quick deployment. Users can link up to ten units together and integrate battery storage to maximize energy use. Each unit delivers approximately £100 in annual electricity bill savings, providing an affordable and accessible solar solution for homeowners, businesses, and event venues.
- Commercial traction: The company has successfully raised £350k from high-net-worth investors to develop and manufacture its first production run. Following four pilot programs in two countries, Modular Solar has already produced 150 units, with 60 units sold. The pipeline includes hundreds more units, valued at £200k, with growing interest from a diverse range of customers, including landowners, golf courses, wedding venues, caravan parks, and industrial sites.
- Market potential: The addressable market is vast, spanning domestic, commercial, and industrial applications. In the UK alone, if just one unit were installed in every garden, it could generate as much power as a nuclear power station—significantly reducing grid strain while increasing clean energy generation. The company envisions modular solar units becoming a standard feature in gardens and open spaces, providing accessible renewable energy with no need for government subsidies. The global market opportunity is in the billions, with potential for rapid scaling due to the system’s ease of deployment.
