Single-Side Ballasted Solar Mounting System

The single-side ballasted solar mounting system is a non-penetrative solution designed for flat concrete or brick rooftops. It eliminates the need for rails by directly connecting the PV modules to the front and rear legs via pre-drilled bolt holes. With a simplified structure and fast installation, it is ideal for both commercial and residential rooftop solar projects.

Product Specifications:

Optional Customization:

Tilt angle design optimization per project location (sun path analysis)

Anodized aluminum coating or anti-corrosion ZAM coating

Pre-assembled leg components to reduce on-site labor

Integrated grounding/earthing accessories

Product Features:

Non-Penetrative Design
Uses concrete ballast blocks to secure the system without damaging the rooftop waterproofing layer — ideal for roofs where penetration is not allowed.

Rail-Free Structure
PV modules are directly fixed to the front and rear legs using pre-punched bolt holes, eliminating the need for mounting rails. This reduces material costs and simplifies installation.

Flexible Ballast Configuration
Ballast blocks can be arranged according to site-specific wind load and roof bearing capacity, ensuring reliable system stability.

Quick Installation & Cost-Efficient
Fewer components and standardized design allow for rapid deployment and reduced labor cost — ideal for large-scale installations.

Main Components:

Front Leg
Pre-drilled for direct attachment to the module frame. Made from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy or ZAM (zinc-aluminum-magnesium) coated steel.

Rear Leg
Provides tilt support and connects directly to the back of the module. Together with the front leg, it forms a stable triangular support structure.

Ballast Base Platform
Accommodates concrete blocks to fix the system in place without roof penetration. Designed for ease of installation and long-term durability.

Application Scenarios:

Flat rooftops (concrete, brick, etc.)

Heritage buildings or sites with no-drill policies

Temporary or relocatable PV systems

Industrial and commercial distributed solar projects

FAQs:

• 
  Q1: Can this system be used on all types of roofs?

  A: This system is specifically designed for flat rooftops, such as concrete or brick surfaces. It is not suitable for sloped or metal roofs. It offers a non-penetrative solution that preserves roof waterproofing.
• 
  Q2: Why is no rail used to mount the modules?

  A: To simplify structure, reduce material cost, and speed up installation, this system uses direct attachment. The PV modules are bolted directly to the front and rear legs — no rail is needed.
• 
  Q3: How is system stability ensured?

  A: Stability is ensured by placing concrete ballast blocks at the base. The number and layout of the blocks are determined by site-specific wind load calculations.
• 
  Q4: Can the module tilt angle be adjusted?

  A: Yes, the tilt angle can be customized between 5° and 15°, based on local solar radiation, energy output optimization, and site conditions.
• 
  Q5: Is additional wind protection required?

  A: Normally, concrete ballast alone is sufficient. For high wind zones (>40 m/s), optional wind deflectors or reinforcement accessories are available.
• 
  Q6: Is it easy to dismantle or relocate the system?

  A: Yes. The rail-free and non-penetrative design makes it easy to dismantle and relocate, ideal for temporary installations or future roof maintenance.
