Ballast Solar Panel

Solar mounts llc s patented multi axial articulated ballasted photovoltaic mount is installed using anchor bolts into the ballast block.

Ballast solar panel. It s safe and it can be allowed sunlink became the first company to install a ballast system in la county. Eliminate the headaches and costs of metal roof racking with small components and 73 less aluminum. The non penetrating ballast flat roof solar mounting system can easily be used as a ground mount solar pv mounting system. That s because solar ballasts aren t attached to roof rafters the way most solar panel installations are.

Seamlessly design around roof obstacles support most framed modules and bond the system with just the turn of a wrench. Additional workers follow the drilling and install concrete anchor bolts into the concrete. Ballast is a common alternative used on solar installations unable to penetrate either the roof or the ground. 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.

This mount relies on the weight of the pv array as well as concrete blocks to hold the system in place. Sunlink has done a lot of testing so we said here s the analysis and the truth to it. After the concrete is cut the holes for the anchor bolts are drilled using a pattern jig. Instead they sit directly on top cemented to the surface with concrete blocks.

Some jurisdictions have been resistant saying they will not allow ballast systems on the roof because they are too dangerous. Solar arrays installed on top of landfill caps cannot penetrate that liner. On low sloped flatter rooftops many building owners don t want to poke holes through the roof. Rm10 introduced the power of simplicity to the ballasted flat roof solar industry.

With 10 degree tilt this system consists of only two major components minimizing preparation work and installation time. A ballasted mount offers all the benefits of solar panels without the impact to your roof. Increase panel output simple design few components. A ballasted flat roof solar mount can also be used on flat ground.

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. 1 universal rail less system installs fast fits any module thickness. Temperamental ground mounts have some of the same concerns. Ecofoot2 leads the ballasted solar racking market with a fast simple installation process.

Ballasted arrays work well on flat rooftops and sites like brownfields superfunds and landfills where few to no penetrations are wanted.
