What They Say About Us

Sturdy, an ideal product for configurations where strength is essential.

Giovanna Maria Mario

We have relied on Sun Ballast for some time to supply concrete support structures for the photovoltaic systems we install. By working with their professional, reliable team, we always find excellent solutions tailored to the needs of our projects.

Paolo Marastoni

Practical and functional products. The structures maximize efficiency and make both installation and subsequent maintenance work easier—all while delivering excellent aesthetics.

Ektor Baboden

The product used proved ideal for this type of roof, thanks to its fast installation and reduced load on the roof, while still ensuring excellent dynamic resistance to wind loads. The assistance provided during the purchasing process was also excellent.

Yes, if necessary, our ballast can be drilled in the central areas to insert expansion anchors with a diameter of 9 mm.

Yes, our technicians will recommend the best solution after reviewing the panel’s technical data sheet and installation instructions.

Yes, they can be installed using mounting rails.

Once we receive the completed order—that is, the signed order, the delivery address and payment—we arrange shipment with the following estimated delivery times: 2–3 business days for Northern Italy, 3–4 business days for Central Italy, 4–5 business days for Southern Italy and the islands, and 5–6 business days for other countries.

Yes, certainly. We can arrange a vehicle equipped with a hydraulic tail lift to unload up to 15–20 pallets at ground level.

It can be installed on a roof with a slope variation ranging from +5° to -5°.

Yes, the system can be prepared for grounding using the plates supplied upon request, or by creating an electrical connection between the panels in accordance with standard installation procedures.

Yes, it is possible, with a minimum order quantity of one pallet.

Yes, our ballasts contain one or two steel reinforcement bars to withstand handling. This means that if a ballast is damaged during transport—for example, if it has hairline cracks around its circumference—it can still be used.

No, it is made of galvanised steel, as this material allows the thread to be re-tapped during installation using an M8 tap.

Apply a lubricant, such as WD-40, or grease to the insert.

Our insert has an effective thread depth of approximately 3 cm.
