The installation process for a ballasted mounting system typically involves the following steps:

1. Roof Preparation: The roof surface should be inspected to ensure it is structurally sound and capable of supporting the weight of the system. Any necessary repairs or modifications may need to be made before installation.

2. Layout Design: The layout of the solar array is planned, considering factors like available roof space and optimal tilt and orientation for maximum sunlight exposure.

3. Mounting Rails Installation: The mounting rails are attached horizontally to the roof. They are normally secured using ballast blocks positioned strategically to evenly distribute the weight.

4. Solar Panel Attachment: The solar panels are affixed to the mounting rails using end and mid clamps. The electrical wiring between the panels is also connected.

5. Final Checks: The system is inspected to ensure proper alignment, secure attachment, and that all electrical connections are in place and functioning correctly.

6. Ballast Placement: The ballast blocks are carefully positioned on the mounting rails to provide sufficient weight and stability to the system.

How To Choose The Proper Ballasted Mounting System?

There are many different types of customized ballasted mounting systems, such as dual tilt type, East & West design type, South or North design type, and even wind-proof type,etc. Therefore,  it’s very important to know how to choose a proper ballasted mounting system.

When selecting a ballasted mounting system, consider the following factors:

–Weight requirements: Determine the weight needed to securely hold the panels in place based on wind loads and other environmental factors.

–Compatibility: Ensure the system is compatible with the solar panels you intend to install.

–Installation simplicity: Look for systems with straightforward installation processes and easy-to-use components.

–Structural integrity: Verify the system’s structural integrity and resistance to weather conditions, such as high winds or snow loads.

–Compliance with regulations: Ensure the system meets local building codes and regulations.

Remember to consult with a professional solar installer or engineer to assess your specific requirements and design a ballasted mounting system that meets your needs.

Package of Rack Mounting

Box or Crate Packaging: The individual packaged components are placed in suitable boxes or crates for consolidation and transportation. These boxes or crates are designed to withstand the rigors of shipping and handling, providing secure and organized packaging.
