PV Ballast Mount System
The ballast non-penetrating system is an ideal solution for PV mounting on a commercial or residential flat-roof. The system uses minimal parts, fewer tools, and installs in far less time than standard racking systems. The system arrives with a fixed PV module tilt to optimize solar power generation. Variable ballast weight allows for local wind rating requirements to be meet on an individual basis.
The SunRailTM extrusion components are made in the USA of high quality anodized aluminum.
KEY BENEFITS
– Fewer parts to install and fewer tools required
