The Sun Ballast weights for photovoltaic modules can be installed on
various types of flat roofs such as: membranes, green roofs, on the ground, paving, or gravel as seen in the photovoltaic system in the photo installed on the roof of a house in France. Gravel is used to cover flat roofs of buildings mainly to protect against UV rays and prevent excessive overheating of the covering. The installation methods on this type of surface include two different ways: direct placement of the structures on top of the gravel or installation beneath the gravel with the latter being repositioned at a later time. For this installation, the weights from the
Standard system Sun Ballast were used with a tilt of 20°, along with our accessory
Cabwlowind designed and created to serve as additional ballast and as a channel for the proper housing of cables. The combination of these two elements makes the entire system
very resistant to wind forces and ensures great stability even on gravel. The results achieved with Sun Ballast are exceptional, and our client GIRERD ENR is satisfied, reaching a power of
3 kWp of clean energy with their system.
