The particular arrangement of the photovoltaic panels achieved with the
Vela system by Sun Ballast allows for excellent productivity levels, even when – as often happens in residential contexts – the surfaces are not particularly large. By eliminating the space between rows of modules, the ratio of the number of panels to the space occupied by the system becomes extremely advantageous, and in the 5° version (visible in the photo), it is possible to place as many as six ballasts side by side,
optimizing all available spaces. The versatility of Sun Ballast systems also allows for practical and quick installation on any type of covering: the latest system of
4.3 kWp installed in Pordenone by 3VOLT was mounted on a
membrane surface and – not requiring any fixing holes – the installation of the structures was carried out with great ease, perfectly preserving all the protective properties of the material. In order to ensure the highest level of stability and wind resistance for the system, the
Technical Office of Sun Ballast suggested the integration of some additional weights on the outer side of the installation: easily and quickly applied directly to the ballasts, the additional weights significantly increased the resistance to stresses from all weather events, ensuring the photovoltaic system the maximum level of solidity, durability, and efficiency.
