    Flat Ballast Concrete Solar Mounting System | Valsa Engineering
    What's up with solar ballast?

    IronRidge BX Ballasted - USA-Made System for Flat Roofs
    Ballasted solar mounting systems are non-penetrating structures used primarily on flat roofs or ground-mount sites to secure solar panels using weight—such as concrete blocks, gravel, or sand—rather than roof-damaging bolts. These systems offer rapid installation, reduced labor costs, and protect roof integrity, often utilizing HDPE plastic tubs or metal trays, as seen in solutions like IronRidge BX or PowerRack. 
    This video demonstrates how a ballasted solar mounting system is installed on a flat roof:

    Key Features and Benefits: 
    • No Roof Penetrations: Protects against leaks by avoiding drilling into the roof membrane.
    • Easy Installation: Designed for speed, often using interlocking components.
    • Adaptability: Suitable for various flat surfaces, including concrete, gravel, and membrane roofs.
    • Engineered Safety: Systems like IronRidge BX are wind-rated (typically up to 120-150 MPH) and often meet Class A fire ratings.
    • Components: Typically consist of tilting racks (5°, 10°, or 15° angles) and trays to hold ballast blocks. 
    Considerations: 
    • Weight Restrictions: The roof must be structurally engineered to support the combined weight of the panels, racks, and ballast.
    • Ballast Material: Concrete blocks, gravel, or sand is required, which adds to material logistics.
    • Location Constraints: While suitable for most flat roofs, areas with extreme wind speeds might still require a few anchor points. 
    Popular Manufacturers/Systems: 
    • IronRidge (BX System)
    • Unirac (RM5/GridFlex)
    • Powerfield Energy (PowerRack)
