When it comes to rooftop vs ground mounted solar, are there certain pros and cons I should consider? Is there any reason to get ground panels if you have a suitable roof?

There are a few major benefits to ground mount solar over rooftop:

Easier to clean/maintain
Simpler to installer
System isn't restricted by the size, direction, or angle of your roof

However, if you want a ground mount system you have to have unshaded space in your backyard to install the system, and in some cases it can cost slightly more to install. Check out EnergySage's blog post: Ground mount solar: top 3 things you need to know for more details.
