Solar Without a Roof.
When your roof isn't right for solar, or you have open land with great sun exposure, a ground mount array can be the better answer across NJ and PA.
Is Ground Mount Right for You
What Determines Feasibility
Ground mount feasibility depends on your property conditions and local requirements. Here is what we evaluate.
Sun Exposure
We assess shading from trees, buildings, and terrain across the day and seasons to confirm the site can produce the energy you need.
Available Land
Ground mount systems need usable open space. We help you understand how much area a productive array requires on your property.
Site Layout
Orientation, pitch, and row spacing all affect production. We design the layout to fit your land while maximizing output.
Racking Systems
Engineered steel racking anchors the array to the ground and is designed for your soil and wind conditions.
Electrical Infrastructure
Trenching and wiring connect the array to your home or business electrical panel. We plan the most efficient route.
Permitting
Ground mount projects require local permits and utility interconnection. We handle the applications as part of your project.
The Process
From Assessment to Activation
Site Assessment
We visit your property to evaluate sun exposure, shading, available land, soil conditions, and electrical setup.
System Design
We design an array sized to your energy goals, with racking and layout optimized for your land.
Permitting & Interconnection
We submit local permits and your utility interconnection application before any work begins.
Trenching & Installation
Trenching for electrical runs, racking installation, panel mounting, and inverter setup.
Inspection & Activation
Local inspection and utility approval, then we activate and commission your system.
Equipment & Warranties
Ground mount arrays use the same CertainTeed solar modules and Enphase IQ8 microinverters as our rooftop systems, mounted on engineered steel racking. Manufacturer equipment warranties apply, and Charles provides the documentation with your proposal.
Financing options, including solar loans, leases, and cash purchase, generally apply to ground mount systems. We walk you through the numbers for your project.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Ground mount systems can involve additional costs for racking, trenching, and electrical runs compared to a straightforward rooftop install. However, they often produce more energy because the array can be angled and positioned for ideal sun exposure. We provide honest numbers so you can compare both options for your property.
