Why Not Just Put It On The Roof?
A Different Approach to Solar
Rooftop solar isn't the only way to produce power on your property.
When adequate land or parking space is available, a ground-mounted array or solar carport can provide a flexible alternative that keeps solar equipment off the roof and makes the system easier to access for inspection, service and future upgrades.
Ground-mounted systems can offer:
✓ Flexible panel placement and orientation
✓ Easy access for service and maintenance
✓ No roof penetrations
✓ Room for larger arrays when space allows
✓ Easier expansion in the future
✓ Excellent compatibility with battery storage
Every property is different. We evaluate the site, electrical usage, available space and utility requirements before recommending a system.
Ground-Mounted Solar
Have the space? Put it to work.
For homes, farms and properties with available land, a ground-mounted solar array can be an excellent alternative to rooftop solar.
Blue Surge can design systems around available sunlight, electrical demand and future energy goals while keeping the array accessible from the ground.
Ground mounts can be particularly attractive for:
- Homes with acreage
- Farms and rural properties
- Large residential electrical loads
- Battery-backup systems
- Workshops and detached buildings
- Properties with shaded or complicated roofs
More than panels in a field.
A properly planned system also requires electrical design, trenching and conduit, disconnects, grounding, inverter equipment, utility interconnection and permitting.
Blue Surge approaches solar as an electrical system first.
Solar Carports
Create power and covered parking from the same space.
A solar carport turns an existing parking area into an energy-producing asset while providing shade and some protection from the elements for vehicles.
Solar carports can be an attractive solution for:
- Businesses
- Churches
- Apartment communities
- Hotels
- Office properties
- Schools and nonprofits
- Large residential properties
Solar + EV Charging
A solar carport can also create a natural location for Level 2 EV charging stations, allowing businesses and property owners to combine covered parking, solar production and vehicle charging in one project.
Add Battery Backup
Solar produces energy. Battery storage gives you more control over when and how that energy is used.
Blue Surge can design solar projects with battery storage for backup power, essential loads, energy management and greater independence from the utility grid.
Depending on the project, systems can be designed to support:
✓ Essential-load backup
✓ Whole-home backup
✓ Commercial critical loads
✓ Solar energy storage
✓ Generator integration when appropriate
Because Blue Surge works with solar, batteries and traditional electrical systems, we can look at the entire power system—not just the panels.
New Solar + Solar Repair
Already Have Solar?
Blue Surge also troubleshoots and repairs existing solar and battery systems—even if we didn't install them.

Residential & Commercial Solar
Residential
Ground-mounted solar can be a great fit for homeowners with sufficient property, particularly when the roof is shaded, complicated, aging or simply not the preferred location for solar.
Homes • Acreage • Farms • Workshops • Detached Garages • Battery Backup
Commercial
Ground mounts and carports allow businesses and organizations to use available land and parking areas to produce energy without relying solely on building rooftops.
Businesses • Churches • Apartments • Hotels • Farms • Nonprofits • Commercial Properties
Does Solar Make Sense for Your Property?
Not every property is a good solar candidate—and we'd rather determine that before you spend money.
We consider:
✓ Available sunlight and shading
✓ Electrical usage
✓ Available ground or parking space
✓ Utility requirements
✓ Electrical service capacity
✓ Battery and backup goals
✓ Project cost and long-term objectives
Our goal is to design a system that makes sense for the property—not sell solar simply because we can.
