The solar panel ballast blocks provide a non-invasive, stable base to secure solar farm panels to. The flexible mould system used for casting the prestressed blocks enables for the solar panel bases to be cast in any size to suit the dimensions of the specified solar modules.
Installation of the ballast blocks is exceptionally fast, with a range of lifting options to suit site plant. The foundation required under the ballast blocks will vary, depending on the ground conditions and weight/size of the solar panel. We can also include a fixing detail if the blocks require anchoring to a concrete foundation.
Units are manufactured under factory control and are CE marked. Below is a table outlining the characteristics of the solar panel ballast blocks. If you require any further details please contact us and one of our product experts will be happy to provide more information.
