6 FAQs about [The role of cement blocks in installing photovoltaic panels]

Can a reinforced concrete block support a solar panel above ground?

In areas where penetration of the ground is difficult or restricted for archaeological or safety reasons, our reinforced concrete blocks are the perfect solution, providing ballast to support these solar panels above ground. Our solar panel ballast blocks are designed to provide support to multiple panels.

Should I use precast concrete ballast blocks for my solar panel project?

Choosing to use our precast concrete ballast blocks for your solar panel project can provide you with added flexibility. Ballast blocks can be used on flat commercial-style roofs, where it is not possible to penetrate the roof surface, and are simpler to install than penetrating systems.

Can a concrete base support solar panels?

An example of free-standing concrete bases being used to support solar panels can be seen at Wellingborough solar farm. Due to an archaeological restriction on part of the land, our bespoke division manufactured 275 reinforced concrete blocks, this allowed a group of panels to be erected without the need for excavation.

Can a block be used to support solar panels?

An environmentally friendly solution, using blocks instead of penetrating the land means a field can be quickly returned to agricultural use if required. An example of free-standing concrete bases being used to support solar panels can be seen at Wellingborough solar farm.

What are solar panel ballast blocks?

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.

Can a solar racking system be built out of concrete?

The industry standard for solar installers is to use precast, pour-in-place or premanufactured concrete blocks to hold racking in place. However, there are some unique alternatives to traditional concrete, including using rocks and even batteries as extra weight.
