Flat Roof Ballasted Systems
(Urban/Office Buildings)
For commercial properties in city centres or office blocks with flat roofs, installers typically use ballasted mounting systems.
These systems don't pierce the roof membrane. Instead, they sit on heavy concrete blocks angled perfectly toward the sun to capture maximum daylight while remaining incredibly secure against high winds.
Low-Profile Metal Roof Systems
(Industrial/Warehouses)
Industrial estates and distribution hubs offer some of the largest footprints for solar generation. Because these buildings usually feature pitched trapezoidal or standing-seam metal roofs, panels can be mounted directly to the existing structure.
This aerial view highlights how massive grids of panels can be laid out seamlessly across a warehouse roof. For a facility like this, generating thousands of kilowatt-hours right on-site significantly reduces the reliance on costly peak-time grid power.
