Common Questions About Carport & Ground Solar

Can I add batteries to a carport or ground mount?
Yes. These systems often make battery installation easier because we can integrate them cleanly from the start.

How much space do I need for a ground-mounted solar array?
For residential use, about 400–600 square feet is typical for a 5–10kW system. Commercial systems vary more, but we’ll design around your available space.

Do I need a permit in Columbus?
Yes, and we handle it all for you. From site assessment to utility interconnection, BC Solar ensures everything’s done to code.

Is a carport solar system more expensive than rooftop solar?
Upfront costs can be slightly higher due to the structure itself, but the added function and flexibility often deliver higher value, especially for commercial clients.
