Sun Ballast photovoltaic panel structures can be used on any type of flat surface, from the membrane roofs of industrial buildings to the gravel roofs of houses and apartment complexes. This 27 kW PV system was professionally installed in Mendrisio (Switzerland) by our customer SB Energetica using the East-West 10° system, one of the many versions available: in fact, the system can be composed with a wide range of photovoltaic ballasts (3°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, and 30°), selecting the most suitable model based on the type of system and building.

The use of Sun Ballast concrete structures allows for the free positioning of the modules, adjusting the length and distance between rows, and simplifying installation even in the presence of roof obstacles. The orientation of the panels in two different directions not only maximizes the use of available spaces (reducing the distance between rows to zero) but also increases the hours of sunlight exposure, distributing energy production throughout the day.

Like all Sun Ballast photovoltaic structures, those used for this system did not require any anchoring holes, neither in the roof nor in the ballast: the concrete ballasts are designed to ensure maximum wind resistance without perforating the roof, and the presence of M8 fixing inserts already within the structure makes the module fastening much easier and quicker.
