Ballast Solar Panel

Increase panel output simple design few components.

Ballast solar panel.

Ballasted arrays work well on flat rooftops and sites like brownfields superfunds and landfills where few to no penetrations are wanted. Additional workers follow the drilling and install concrete anchor bolts into the concrete. Rm10 introduced the power of simplicity to the ballasted flat roof solar industry. The non penetrating ballast flat roof solar mounting system can easily be used as a ground mount solar pv mounting system.

This mount relies on the weight of the pv array as well as concrete blocks to hold the system in place. Metalx is easy to plan design transport. With 10 degree tilt this system consists of only two major components minimizing preparation work and installation time. Ballast is a common alternative used on solar installations unable to penetrate either the roof or the ground.

Temperamental ground mounts have some of the same concerns. Eliminate the headaches and costs of metal roof racking with small components and 73 less aluminum. Solar ballasts durable precast concrete material allows for cast in solar panel mounting structures hardware factory manufactured precast concrete footings are produced in a quality controlled environment resulting in consistent. Seamlessly design around roof obstacles support most framed modules and bond the system with just the turn of a wrench.

A ballasted flat roof solar mounting hardware does not require any roof penetrations for mounting the solar panels. After the concrete is cut the holes for the anchor bolts are drilled using a pattern jig. A ballasted flat roof solar mount can also be used on flat ground. Some jurisdictions have been resistant saying they will not allow ballast systems on the roof because they are too dangerous.

It s safe and it can be allowed sunlink became the first company to install a ballast system in la county. 1 universal rail less system installs fast fits any module thickness. That s because solar ballasts aren t attached to roof rafters the way most solar panel installations are. Ballasted mounts only work on flat or low slope roofs and they must be well engineered to handle the significant amount of extra weight added by the concrete blocks holding the system in place.

Ballasts are the heavy non penetrating solution to installing solar where installers use concrete blocks to mount arrays instead of making holes in rooftops or screwing into the ground. A ballasted mount offers all the benefits of solar panels without the impact to your roof. On low sloped flatter rooftops many building owners don t want to poke holes through the roof. Solar arrays installed on top of landfill caps cannot penetrate that liner.

Sunlink has done a lot of testing so we said here s the analysis and the truth to it.
