BALLASTED STRUCTURES SUNFER
Ballasted structures are an efficient solution for installing solar panels on flat roofs, provided the inclination is less than 3º. However, not all flat roofs are compatible with these systems, nor do all ballasted systems work on every type of roof.
Compatibility of Ballasted Structures
For concrete roofs, both the 26H/29H and 26.1H/29.1H solutions can be installed. This is because concrete roofs are rigid structures that ensure stability without the risk of deformation.
On the other hand, on Deck-type roofs (TPO, PVC, asphalt…), small deformations can affect the stability and performance of solar panels. For these cases, SUNFER recommends the 26.1H/29.1H systems, as they are designed to adapt to these surfaces without compromising the safety of the installation.
Ballast Calculation for a Secure Installation
The ballast required to ensure the stability of the photovoltaic system depends on several factors, such as:
- Size of the solar modules.
- Structure inclination.
- Panel layout on the roof.
- Wind speed according to current regulations.
Therefore, it is essential to rely on a safe and reliable provider like SUNFER, which not only offers high-quality photovoltaic structures but also provides precise ballast calculations tailored to each project.
SUNFERPROJECT: Structure Calculation Tool
To facilitate the design and budgeting of solar installations, SUNFERoffers its customers the SUNFERPROJECT software. This is a completely free photovoltaic structure calculation program.
With this tool, professionals can obtain detailed calculations and budgets for all their integrated and ballasted system projects.
