Residential Solar Installation Options
Every home is different, and a solar system should reflect that. Coastal Solar Powered by Carter Services designs residential solar arrays that match the architecture of the property, the way power is used, and the available space.
For many homeowners, a roof-mounted array is the most efficient choice. Panels are installed on rafters with engineered mounting hardware, oriented to capture as much sunlight as possible during peak hours. Careful layout helps maintain roof integrity and appearance while maximizing energy production.
Some properties benefit from more creative placements. Patio structures can be transformed into solar shade covers that deliver electricity and outdoor comfort at the same time. In other cases, a ground-mounted system is ideal. On larger lots or where roofs are heavily shaded, a ground mount allows optimal tilt and orientation, often delivering better performance than a compromised roof location.
Each residential installation is engineered to work seamlessly with the existing electrical system. The Coastal Solar Powered by Carter Services team sizes inverters appropriately, coordinates with utilities for interconnection, and makes sure monitoring tools are in place so production and savings are easy to track. Beyond lowering bills, a well-designed solar array can add value to a home and reduce the impact of rate increases over the long term.
