The
positioning of a photovoltaic system is a highly discussed factor during the design and installation phases, especially when there is limited space and numerous obstacles on the surface. However, with Sun Ballast support structures, this issue is resolved as there is a system that is the perfect solution to meet this need:
the Sail system. The 11° Sail system is precisely what the
technical office of Sun Ballast chose for the installation carried out by our client Solaire 17 on the flat roof of a house in France. The roof in question had recurring obstacles across the entire surface, such as chimneys and skylights, and the space was decidedly limited. The Sail system, due to its shape in which the panels are installed consecutively one behind the other, manages to optimize spaces, leaving no free areas between one row of modules and another that are usually left due to shading; it is possible to install up to
20% more modules compared to a traditional system. In this way, our client was able to achieve a small but very efficient system for the available space, capable of producing up to
6.6 kWp of green energy.
