Ballast Mounting Solar Panels

Flat roof pv module mounting with ballast is suitable for both framed or frameless solar panels.

Ballast mounting solar panels. A solar panel mount or solar racking system is the foundation that holds your solar array in place. Trays are constructed of stainless and galvanized steel parts and are internally bonded for simplified equipment grounding. Solar arrays installed on top of landfill caps cannot penetrate that liner. Ballast tray ballast trays connect with modules to form a rail less mounting system that easily follows roof contours and adapts to obstacles.

With proper installation a sturdy mount secures your panels in harsh weather and protects your investment. Solar mounts llc s patented multi axial articulated ballasted photovoltaic mount is installed using anchor bolts into the ballast block. Instead they sit directly on top cemented to the surface with concrete blocks. A ballasted flat roof solar mount can also be used on flat ground.

Rm10 introduced the power of simplicity to the ballasted flat roof solar industry. Seamlessly design around roof obstacles support most framed modules and bond the system with just the turn of a wrench. The ekonorack 2 0 s innovative design acts as a tray for the ballasts ensuring the ballasts stay in place. A ballasted mount offers all the benefits of solar panels without the impact to your roof.

Ballast is a common alternative used on solar installations unable to penetrate either the roof or the ground. Mounts are used to attach solar panels to the roof ground or another surface on your property. That s because solar ballasts aren t attached to roof rafters the way most solar panel installations are. A simple solution that reduces install time and costs.

Ballasted mounting system is a kind of non penetrating installing solution for flat roofs. This ballasted flat roof or ground mount solar pv panel mounting is the lowest cost and easiest to install flat roof mounting hardware available. Temperamental ground mounts have some of the same concerns. With 10 degree tilt this system consists of only two major components minimizing preparation work and installation time.

Additional workers follow the drilling and install concrete anchor bolts into the concrete. December 2015 this concrete ballasted ground mount solution for residential commercial landfills and brown field applications consists of box posts solar purlin connection hardware and 20 patented gator clamps for connecting modules to purlin with tilt ranging from 5 to 30. A ballasted flat roof solar mounting hardware does not require any roof penetrations for mounting the solar panels. On low sloped flatter rooftops many building owners don t want to poke holes through the roof.

Locally sourced concrete ballast weights minimize shipping and storage costs. After the concrete is cut the holes for the anchor bolts are drilled using a pattern jig. Benefits of this solar panel mounting system. Our most popular system ekonorack 2 0 is a non penetrating solar mounting solution that uses ballasts.
