Sun Ballast obtains the ETN certification: with photovoltaic ballasts, PV systems are solid and safe
After a thorough process of analysis and technical assessment, the main photovoltaic panel mounting systems offered by Sun Ballast have obtained the ETN certification, a fundamental step to guarantee all French customers the highest level of reliability.
ETN-certified photovoltaic ballasts: a guarantee of quality and safety
The ETN certificate (Enquête Technique Nouvelle) is an important recognition issued by accredited technical bodies in France, certifying that the products comply with strict national regulations in terms of safety, resistance, and reliability. Essential for those operating in the field of structures for flat roof photovoltaic panels, the ETN ensures that the certified systems are fully compatible with the requirements of French projects, offering both industry professionals and end customers the best level of protection and safety.
Single-Row system: simple and fast photovoltaic structures to install
The Single-Row system is ideal for those looking for a photovoltaic structure that is simple, solid, and quick to install: suitable for any type of flat surface, the concrete ballasts that make up the Single-Row system require no anchoring holes and allow easy adjustment of both the row length and the spacing between rows. This makes obstacle management much faster, and the wide range of tilt angles from 0° to 30° provides a solution suitable for any flat roof photovoltaic system.
Connect system: lightweight and durable mounting system
Thanks to its grid structure, the Connect system offers a lightweight and durable solution: the connection of all photovoltaic ballasts into a single network ensures optimal distribution of roof weight, increasing system stability even under strong winds while minimizing the overall weight of the system. The Connect system is available with tilt angles from 3° to 30°, allowing compliance with building load limits while guaranteeing high resistance to weather conditions. Like all Sun Ballast photovoltaic structures, the components of the Connect systems require no anchoring holes and already include fastening bushings for panel mounting.
Safety and comprehensive technical assistance
Sun Ballast has always worked to offer solutions that are safe, simple, and reliable, and with the achievement of the ETN certification, our customers in France can now rely on products that comply with all national regulations. The recognition of the ETN on the main systems of the range further strengthens Sun Ballast’s role as an international reference partner in the field of flat roof photovoltaic structures, also thanks to the constant support offered by the Technical Office. Composed of more than 20 qualified professionals, the Technical Office provides Sun Ballast customers with free technical reports containing all the data needed to build safe and long-lasting PV systems – from wind calculations to roof load analyses – ensuring 360° support from the earliest design phases.
