Ballast solar mounts are a solar panel mounting system designed for flat roofs with slopes of approximately 1 to 7 degrees. They are usually round or square frames made of aluminum, with a top clamp for the solar panel and a bottom "tray" that holds a counterweight. Instead of relying on penetrations, sealants, and flashing like traditional methods, ballasted solar mounts use gravity to press the ...
