Sistema a Vela – 10 kWp

When photovoltaic systems are installed on small flat surfaces, space optimization becomes a fundamental requirement: for this reason, Sun Ballast has developed the Vela system, a simple, efficient, and quick solution to install that allows for the best use of all available surface area. The photovoltaic system visible in the photo – with a capacity of 10 kWp – was installed by our client D’Antonio Energie on the flat roof of a bar in the province of Chieti, and thanks to the 5° Vela system, the installation of the structures was carried out with great ease, without the need for any fixing holes and reducing installation times by over 30%. The Vela system – available in both 5° and 11° inclination versions – is indeed composed of various ballast weights, each made with a different height. This feature allows for the complete avoidance of shading between the rows of photovoltaic panels, enabling the consecutive positioning of rows next to each other with increasing height. The space between them can thus be reduced (even to zero), optimizing the surface dedicated to the system and ensuring, even on small surfaces, high levels of efficiency and performance. To ensure maximum safety, additional U-shaped weights have been placed on the ballasts: these accessories can easily and quickly increase the overall resistance of the installation, enhancing the stability of the photovoltaic panels and maximizing the system's ability to withstand wind and snow loads.
