Designed to ensure maximum resistance to all weather events, Sun Ballast’s Connect system is a simple and lightweight solution: concrete ballasts are connected in a single grid, and the distribution of loads is perfectly balanced over the entire roof. This particular configuration makes it possible to use even lighter structures, reducing both the weight of the building and the overall transportation costs.

The 52 kW photovoltaic system visible in the photo was built on a large facility in Tallinn, Estonia, by our client Energiapartner using the Connect 15° system: the absence of fastening holes made the installation much steps simpler and faster, and the connection of the ballasts in a single network of structures allowed the highest level of strength and stability to be achieved.

The Connect system is available in a wide range of inclinations 5° to 30°-and is compatible with both the No-Flex system (dedicated to large panels) and the “U-Block” supplementary weights. The latter has been placed directly on the perimeter ballasts, further strengthening the tightness of the structures and ensuring maximum stability even at the points of greatest exposure to wind.
