🌞 Considering installing solar panels?
🛠️ Concerned about potential roof damage?
Explore the option of using ballasted mounts!,
Unlike traditional installations that require cutting into your roof, ballasted mounts sit on top, secured with concrete blocks. It’s offer all the benefits of solar panels without risking roof integrity. Even if you go traditional, adding concrete ballasts can prevent wind damage.
The majority of solar mounts are attached directly to a home’s rafters, which means cutting into the roof. While installers generally take care to seal and flash holes to prevent leaks and water damage, those incisions could eventually cause a real problem, especially if you have a low-sloped or flat roof.
Or maybe you just don’t like the idea of some installer cutting holes in your roof. That’s where a ballasted installation comes in.
A ballasted mount offers all the benefits of solar panels without the impact to your roof. That’s because solar ballasts aren’t attached to roof rafters the way most solar panel installations are. Instead, they sit directly on top, cemented to the surface with concrete blocks.
In fact, even if you decide to go for a more traditional installation, your installer may recommend that you have some concrete ballasts placed on certain parts of the racking. This adds weight to your system and prevents it from blowing off in high winds.
Generally, it’s best to follow the advice of your solar contractor when assessing whether or not your system needs ballasts.
