Ground Mount & Solar Carport Systems with Battery Backup in Columbus

If rooftop solar isn’t ideal for your home or business, ground mount and carport systems are a smart and flexible alternative, especially when paired with solar battery storage.

At BC Solar, we design and install custom solar setups right here in Columbus, Ohio, that deliver dependable, long-term performance, whether you’re dealing with limited roof space or planning a full energy resilience strategy.

What Are Ground Mount Solar and Solar Carports?

Ground Mount Solar:
Solar panels are installed on a racking system secured into the ground. Ideal for:

• Homes with shaded or structurally limited roofs

• Larger properties with open yard or field space

• Precise panel angle and orientation for max output

Solar Carports:
Overhead solar structures are installed above parking areas. Great for:

• Residential driveways or commercial parking lots

• Dual-purpose (energy generation + covered parking)

• Snow and weather protection with built-in savings

Why Add Battery Storage?

Columbus weather can be unpredictable, and grid outages are on the rise. That’s why more Ohio homeowners and businesses are installing solar with battery backup.

With solar + battery, you get:

• Energy independence — run essential loads even during grid outages.

• No backfeed danger — batteries can disconnect safely from the grid

• Time-of-use flexibility — store power when it’s cheap, use when it’s not.

• Peak shaving — especially valuable for businesses with demand charges
