SunWorks have installed a number ballast mounted flat roof solar systems. Flat roofs are ideal for solar as installation is often very quick in terms of system assembly and ease of access to the roof.
A ballast system relies on a calculated ballast (weight) to hold the solar panels and mounting kit to roof, this is an industry standard for flat roofs and is used worldwide.
Benefits of a ballast mounted solar system:
-
Discrete and rarely visible from a street view
-
Flexibility to ensure panels sit at an angle to capture the optimum amount of solar rays, whilst remaining self-cleaning in the rain
-
Quick assembly (low installation labour costs)
-
Sleek aesthetics when combined with the best panels
Suitable for any flat roof covering/surface:
-
Felt/Bitumen
-
Fibreglass
-
EPDM membrane
-
Concrete
