Ballasted mounting systems are a popular method for installing photovoltaic panels on flat roofs or other surfaces where traditional mounting systems—which require drilling into the roof—cannot be used. These systems rely on the use of mass (ballast) to keep the panels in place. The weight of the ballast is a critical factor; it must be heavy enough to secure the panels even during high winds, yet it must not exceed the load-bearing capacity of the roof or the structure upon which it is placed.

Alumero ballasted mounting systems, available through Elementum PV:

Alumero offers a variety of ballasted mounting solutions that can be tailored to different roof types and specific client requirements. These systems are designed to be easy to install, stable, and durable.

Ballasted systems allow for the installation of photovoltaic panels without the need to drill holes into the roof—a particularly useful feature for roofs where such drilling is not an option.

Alumero’s ballasted mounting systems are engineered with safety and longevity in mind. They are designed to meet rigorous standards and regulations concerning structural safety.

The amount of ballast used is adjusted based on the specific needs of the project and the wind conditions at the given location. The weight of the ballast is the key element ensuring the stability of these mounting systems.

The installation of the Alumero ballasted mounting system should be carried out by professionals, and these systems require regular maintenance to ensure long-term performance.
