Custom Ground Mount Solar Arrays for Unique Properties
Solar Carport & Ground Mount Custom Solar Arrays
Thinking about solar, but your roof isn’t the right fit? You’ve got options.
At BC Solar, we design custom solar carports and ground mount systems that work with your property, not against it. Whether you want clean energy for your home, business, or farm, our team builds practical, battery-ready solar setups that deliver power and peace of mind.
What’s a Solar Carport?
A solar carport is a freestanding canopy structure with solar panels mounted on top, usually over a driveway, parking lot, or carport area. Think of it as a shaded parking space that also generates electricity.
Benefits of solar carports:
Use space you already have
Protect vehicles from sun and weather
Generate solar power without using roof space
Ideal for businesses and multifamily properties with parking areas
What’s a Ground Mount Solar System?
Ground mounts are solar panel arrays installed directly on the ground, often with a racking system that can be fixed or tracking (to follow the sun). This is a popular choice when:
Your roof has too much shade
You want to avoid roof penetrations
You have available land or a large open area
Ground mounts offer:
Maximum panel orientation and sun exposure
Easy cleaning and maintenance access
Flexible sizing for high energy needs
Built Around You, Not a Sales Template
We don’t do cookie-cutter installs. Brian Zaayer and the BC Solar team engineer each carport or ground mount system specifically for your property layout, budget, and energy goals. And if you want batteries for backup? We’ll design the system with battery storage as the foundation, not an afterthought.
No sales pitch. No pressure. Just honest advice and craftsmanship you can count on.
