What we see on Wake Forest roofs
Lot sizes north of Wake Forest open up the ground mount option, which is rare inside the city. A ground array escapes roof geometry entirely: true south, optimal tilt, and service access without a ladder. It costs more in trenching and racking, and it needs the room.
Well pumps are the other local factor. Many properties out here are on private wells, and a submersible pump drawing 1,200 W running with a 2,400 W starting surge sits at the top of every backup load schedule we build in this area.

Wake Forest questions
Technically yes: optimal tilt and azimuth, easy maintenance access, no roof penetrations. It costs more for racking, trenching and the conductor run, so it wins where you have the land and the roof is compromised.
Yes, with the right inverter. The pump's starting surge, often around 2,400 W for a residential submersible, is what sizes the inverter. The running draw of roughly 1,200 W is what consumes the kWh.
