In Switzerland, our client Energie-Genossenschaft Schweiz was able to implement a photovoltaic system on a flat roof, beautiful and effective thanks to a dual solution proposed by the
Technical Office of Sun Ballast. For the realization, the ballasts from our
Standard system and the
East-West system were used, ensuring the production goals required by the client. The Standard system, made up of single rows, is the most
versatile as it allows for flexible installation and easily avoids any obstacles present on the roof, while the East-West system, which can be installed with all the ballasts of the Standard system positioned shoulder to shoulder and connected to each other with a junction plate, is most often used to
optimize energy production and keep it constant throughout the day, especially when there is not a good south exposure. Both systems were installed on a surface that was only later covered with gravel. All Sun Ballast systems are particularly suitable for installation in this manner as well as directly on gravel since they do not need to be fixed to the roof. The combination of the two systems allowed for the creation of a system capable of producing up to
38 kWp of renewable energy.
