Description
The Ballasted Solar Mounting System is a non-penetrating solar racking solution designed specifically for flat roofs on residential and commercial buildings. This system uses weight (ballast) to securely hold solar panels in place, eliminating the need for roof penetrations and preserving roof integrity.
Engineered for durability and performance, ballasted systems are ideal for large-scale commercial rooftops, warehouses, and flat residential roofs, offering fast installation, flexibility, and reduced structural impact.
🔩 Key Features & Benefits
- Non-Penetrating Installation
No drilling into the roof—protects waterproofing and maintains roof warranty. - Ballast-Based Stability
Uses engineered weight distribution to secure panels against wind uplift. - Fast & Efficient Installation
Reduces labour time and installation complexity. - Flexible System Design
Adjustable tilt angles for optimized solar production. - Low Roof Impact
Evenly distributes load across the roof surface.
⚡ Why Use Ballasted Systems?
Traditional mounting systems require:
- Roof penetrations
- Flashing and sealing
- Higher risk of leaks
👉 Ballasted systems eliminate these issues while providing:
- Faster installs
- Lower risk
- Cleaner design
🏢 Ideal Applications
- Commercial buildings
- Warehouses & industrial facilities
- Flat residential roofs
- Multi-unit buildings
- Schools & institutional buildings
🔧 Technical Highlights
- Mounting type: Ballasted (non-penetrating)
- Roof type: Flat roofs (TPO, EPDM, PVC, built-up roofing)
- Tilt angle: Typically 5°–15° (customizable)
- Material: Aluminum & galvanized steel components
- Wind design: Engineered per site-specific requirements
🛡️ Engineering & Safety
- Designed to meet Canadian building codes
- Wind and snow load calculations included
- Structural review required for ballast loading
⚠️ Important Considerations
- Roof must support additional ballast weight
- Structural assessment recommended
- Wind exposure and building height impact design
