Are ground mounting steel frames suitable for PV solar power plant projects?

In the photovoltaic (PV) solar power plant projects, PV solar panel (SP) support structure is one of the main elements and limited numerical studies exist on PVSP ground mounting steel frames to be a research gap that has not be addressed adequately in the literature.

Who is responsible for building a solar photovoltaic power plant?
