A famous example of the method of image charges is a point charge above an infinite grounded plate. Can we use the method if the plate is not grounded?

My thoughts: The conductor's surface is equipotential otherwise the current starts to flow. And at the infinity we assume that potential must be zero. It means that an infinite not-grounded plate always have zero potential (with respect to a point at infinity)
