Solar Ballast Block

solar ballast block

As solar power has become a modern solution to the quest for energy the need for Solar Ballast Block products has emerged. St. Vrain Block is excited to introduce our ASTM International Certified Solar Ballast Block product line.

Solar panels in zero-penetration, flat-roof applications require ballast weight to secure the panel to the roof. Applications include flat roofs when non-penetrating options are preferred. Solar ballast block provides the dispersion of point loads without the need for penetrating roofing materials.

This is a critical common factor in Colorado and surrounding states' where the tendency for high wind areas and above average snowfall abound.

We manufacture several sizes and weights of products that are specifically designed for the strict quality requirements of the solar panel industry.

High compressive strength and density combined with low absorption are important to the long-term durability of the concrete. Lower-quality concrete can deteriorate in under a decade due to the aggressive freeze/thaw environment that the roofs and the ballasts create.
