When it comes to installing solar panels on flat roofs, drilling into the surface can often lead to potential water leaks and structural damage. At Leon Solar, we understand the importance of preserving the integrity of your roof while maximizing solar energy efficiency. That’s why we offer innovative drilling-free solar mounting solutions tailored for flat roofs. In this article, we’ll explore some of the best options available to ensure a seamless and leak-free installation.
Ballasted Mounting System by Leon Solar
One of the most effective drilling-free solutions is the Ballasted Mounting System. Unlike traditional racking systems that require penetration into the roof, this system relies on the weight of concrete blocks to securely hold the solar arrays in place. Leon Solar’s ballasted system is designed to distribute weight evenly, ensuring stability without compromising your roof’s structure. However, it’s essential to verify that your roof has sufficient load-bearing capacity to support the additional weight. In windy areas, the ballast weight must be carefully calculated to maintain the system’s safety and durability.
Solar Racking System with Concrete Foundations
For those seeking a robust and long-lasting solution, Leon Solar offers a Solar Racking System with Concrete Foundations. This system is ideal for both flat roofs and sloped terrains. Made from high-quality aluminum or stainless steel, our mounting systems are built to withstand harsh weather conditions and resist corrosion. The concrete foundations provide exceptional stability, ensuring your solar arrays remain securely in place. However, this option requires a roof with strong load-bearing capacity to handle the added weight of the foundations.
Thin-Film PV Solar Laminates
If you’re looking for a lightweight and adhesive-based solution, Leon Solar’s Thin-Film PV Solar Laminates are an excellent choice. These laminates are attached directly to the roof using a strong adhesive, making them perfect for standing seam metal roofing systems. Thin-film laminates are not only easy to install but also blend seamlessly with your roof’s design. If you’re considering a roof replacement, combining metal roofing with thin-film PV laminates can be a smart and energy-efficient investment.
