Placement Of Ballast - ESDEC FlatFix Fusion Manual

7.10 Placement of ballast

To keep the solar panels in place, you need to put ballast in the ballast holders. By default, you can use concrete paving
blocks of 21x10,5x8 cm as ballast. They weigh approximately 4 kg/piece and fit well into the ballast holders with regards to
their size. Alternatively, you can also use pavement tiles of maximally 21x21 cm, curb stones of 20x100 cm, or gravel. When
using gravel, place a concrete paving block left and right in the ballast holder.
Carefully adhere to the ballast weights from the calculator!
Take note: Before placing the ballast, you should check whether the solar panel field is in the correct position and that it is
properly aligned with respect to the eaves. You can still adjust the panel field a little bit at this stage. Once the ballast has
been placed, correction is not possible anymore!
If your roof is higher than 12 meters, we advise you to get in touch with your supplier; they can then
determine the correct weight, depending on your situation.
