One of the most commonly used coverings on the roofs of industrial buildings is
gravel: an economical and easily available material that offers surfaces an excellent level of both drainage and protection from weather events. Given the widespread use of this type of covering, Sun Ballast's ballast weights have been designed to easily adapt to gravel surfaces: the structures can indeed be simply placed on the gravel, or – by performing a very quick preventive operation – positioned directly on the surface beneath the gravel.
Not requiring any type of fastening, the waterproofing of the roof is guaranteed in any case, and the installation of the ballast occurs quickly and smoothly. When the goal is to ensure high and constant production throughout the day, the
East-West system from Sun Ballast represents the ideal solution: the system implemented by Exergia S.R.L. on this warehouse in Polvica di Nola (NA) has exceeded
229 kWp of power, and thanks to the East-West 3°K system, the generated energy is not only abundant but also well distributed. The photovoltaic panels are indeed
oriented in two different directions, and the exposure to solar radiation remains constant from dawn to dusk. A great advantage, allowing for lighter storage systems while ensuring the best performance of the system and a decidedly professional aesthetic impact.
