Installing solar panels on a flat roof provides multiple advantages, such as optimal sun exposure and simple installation. Our ballasted roof mounting system is specifically engineered to secure solar panels on flat surfaces, ensuring maximum energy output and long-term performance.

Advantages of Ballasted Roof Mounting System

• Enhanced Energy Generation
  The system allows ideal panel orientation, maximizing solar exposure throughout the day to boost energy production.
• Space Optimization
  Flat roofs provide ample space for solar panel installation, making this system ideal for properties with limited ground area.
• Easy Maintenance
  Solar panels installed on flat roofs are easily accessible for cleaning and routine maintenance.
• Structural Integrity
  The design effectively distributes panel weight, protecting the roof structure and ensuring long-term stability.

Specifications

Installation Process

1. Roof Assessment: A professional evaluation ensures your roof’s structural integrity and load-bearing capacity.
2. Ballast Placement: Weights such as concrete blocks or ballast trays are carefully positioned to secure the system without penetrating the roof.
3. Racking System Installation: The racking system is mounted on top of the ballast, followed by attaching the solar panels.
4. Wiring and Connection: Solar panels are interconnected, and wiring leads to the inverter for energy conversion.
5. System Testing: The complete system is tested to ensure proper functionality.

Ballasted Roof Mounting System FAQ

What Are The Main Types Of Ballasted Roof Mounting System?

Ballasted and penetrating flat roof solar mounting systems are the two main types. Weight is used to secure panels in ballasted systems, whereas anchors or fasteners are used in penetrating systems.

How Do I Determine The Suitability Of My Flat Roof For Solar Panel Installation?

A professional roof evaluation is required to determine the structural integrity and load-bearing capabilities of your flat roof.

Is The Ballasted Roof Mounting System Adjustable?

Yes, many flat roof mounting solutions allow you to modify the tilt angle of the panels for greater energy generation.

Can I Install Solar Panels On A Flat Roof Without Penetrating It?

Yes, roof penetration is not required for ballasted flat roof mounting solutions. Weights are used to secure the panels.

What Maintenance Tasks Are Involved In Flat Roof Solar Mounting?

Cleaning solar panels regularly, inspecting mounting system components, and monitoring energy production are important maintenance duties.

How Long Does A Flat Roof Solar Mounting System Typically Last?

When installed correctly and maintained regularly, a flat roof solar mounting system can last for 20 to 25 years or more.
