Since 2012, Sun Ballast mounting systems have represented the easiest and most effective solution for the installation of photovoltaic systems on flat roofs, and today they are trusted by thousands of industry professionals.The ballasts – certified ETN, ISO, and UL2703 – require no penetration on the cover, making them suitable for a wide range of roof types, and provide the panels with excellent wind resistance.

The 63 kW photovoltaic plant shown in the photo was installed in France on a gravel roof using the Connect 15° mounting system. This reticular structure – where each row is structurally connected to the previous and the next – allows for optimal weight distribution/loads across the entire network of concrete ballasts, thus avoiding roof overloads and ensuring high stability under various atmospheric stress conditions.

The support structures that make up the Connect mounting system are available in a wide range of tilt angles from 5° to 30°, can be installed on any type of flat surface – whether it’s membrane, gravel, pavement, or even green roofs – and come pre-equipped with M8 threaded bushings for fixation of the clamps. These systems are ideal for both residential buildings (such as houses and condos) and industrial buildings, providing a no roof penetration solution that ensures resistance to corrosion, durability, and easy and fast installation.
