Advanced Solar Mounting System Enhances Flat Roof PV Installations
In May 2025, a 35KW rooftop solar project using an East & West ballasted ηλιακό σύστημα στήριξης was successfully completed on a logistics facility in central Slovenia. The project exemplifies how ηλιακά συστήματα στήριξης are evolving to meet the growing demand for clean energy in urban and industrial environments, especially for flat roof buildings where conventional installation methods are limited.
Designed specifically for non-penetrative flat roof applications, the East & West ballasted ηλιακό σύστημα στήριξης delivers high efficiency, structural integrity, and maximum rooftop utilization. The system supports dual-orientation panel layouts, enabling balanced solar production during morning and afternoon hours while optimizing spatial efficiency.
🔧 Technical Advantages of the East & West Ballasted System
This mounting solution integrates aerodynamically optimized aluminum frames, stainless steel hardware, and a ballast-based anchoring system that requires no drilling or penetration into the rooftop. Key benefits include:
-
✅ Zero Roof Penetration: Ideal for commercial buildings with waterproofing membranes or insulation layers.
-
✅ Dual Orientation (East & West): Reduces peak load on electrical systems and balances daily energy output.
-
✅ High-Density Installation: Increases panel count per square meter compared to south-facing layouts.
-
✅ Pre-Assembled Components: Speeds up installation and minimizes labor costs.
-
✅ Certified Wind and Snow Resistance: Meets local building code requirements for Central Europe.
The 35KW system consists of 78 high-efficiency monocrystalline panels arranged in an East-West configuration. It is expected to generate over 38,000 kWh annually, reducing the facility’s energy bills by more than 35% and cutting CO₂ emissions by approximately 20 tons each year.
🌍 Growing Demand for Flat Roof Solar Mounting Systems in Slovenia
As part of Slovenia’s Green Energy Strategy 2030, rooftop solar projects are being strongly promoted through government subsidies and EU renewable energy targets. Flat roof structures—such as warehouses, logistics hubs, and schools—make up a large portion of the country’s building stock and represent significant untapped potential for solar power generation.
Ballasted solar mounting systems are becoming the preferred choice in such settings due to their flexibility, non-invasive nature, and ease of maintenance. The East & West configuration, in particular, is gaining traction for its ability to reduce shading and provide smoother energy output curves throughout the day.
This 35KW project is a strong case study of how optimized solar mounting solutions can help businesses in Slovenia and across Europe transition toward more sustainable, energy-efficient operations.
