Esdec FlatFix Fusion Base Plate Bracket: Integrating the Base Plate into Your Array

Ensure a secure and compliant connection when incorporating the Esdec FlatFix Fusion Base Plate into your flat roof solar installation with this dedicated Base Plate Bracket. The Base Plate itself is used in specific scenarios – perhaps for direct mechanical fixing to the roof structure in hybrid systems or for particular load distribution requirements – and this bracket provides the crucial link between the plate and the standard Low Base or High Base units. Using the correct connecting components is vital for the structural integrity supporting your solar panels and maximising your long-term energy savings.

Facilitating Base Plate Integration

This bracket serves a specific purpose within the modular FlatFix Fusion system:

• Secure Connection: Provides designated fixing points to bolt or connect the Base Plate firmly to a Low or High Base unit.
• Maintains Alignment: Ensures the Base Plate is positioned correctly relative to the rest of the array structure, including Base Profiles.
• Load Transfer: Facilitates the proper transfer of loads between the Base Plate (and its fixing/support) and the main array framework.

The requirement for the Base Plate, and therefore this Bracket, depends entirely on the specific project design determined by engineering requirements or the output of the Enstall Calculator.

Application in Specific Scenarios

While standard FlatFix Fusion installations rely solely on ballast held by components like the Ballast Container, the Base Plate and this connecting Bracket are typically employed when:

• A mechanically fixed ('hybrid') system is required, anchoring some points directly to the roof structure via the Base Plate.
• Specific structural engineering dictates the need for base plates for load distribution on particular roof types.

Esdec Quality and System Warranty

Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant materials to Esdec's specifications, this bracket is designed for long-term performance. Using genuine Esdec components, including accessories like this bracket when required, is essential for maintaining the comprehensive system warranty and ensuring the installation meets certified safety and performance standards.

Why Evergy Recommend This Product

If your FlatFix Fusion design incorporates the Base Plate, this Bracket is not optional – it's required for correct assembly. We recommend it because:

• Required Connector: It's the specifically designed part to link the Base Plate to Base Units.
• Ensures Proper Fit: Guarantees correct alignment and secure connection within the system.
• Structural Integrity: Maintains the engineered load paths and strength of the installation.
• Warranty Compliance: Using the correct Esdec parts preserves your system warranty.

Key Technical Details

• Component: Base Plate Bracket
• Function: Connects FlatFix Fusion Base Plate to Base Unit (Low/High)
• System: Esdec FlatFix Fusion
• Material: Metal (Likely Aluminium or Steel - check datasheet)

Refer to Esdec manuals for specific assembly instructions when using Base Plates and Brackets.

Verify If Base Plates & Brackets Are Needed

Most standard ballasted FlatFix Fusion projects will not require the Base Plate or this Bracket. **Always** confirm requirements using the Enstall Calculator for Esdec or specific project engineering plans. If they are specified, add the required quantity of Base Plate Brackets to your basket along with the Base Plates and other necessary FlatFix Fusion components.
