Esdec FlatFix Fusion Ballast Container 1700: The Secure Solution for Weighting Your Flat Roof Array

Ensure the stability of your non-penetrating FlatFix Fusion solar installation with the Esdec Ballast Container 1700. This component is specifically designed to securely hold the required ballast materials (commonly standard concrete paving slabs) within the FlatFix Fusion system structure. Correct ballasting is essential to counteract wind forces acting on your solar panels, providing a safe and reliable platform for generating clean energy and helping you gain independence from unpredictable energy tariffs over the long term.

Secure and Integrated Ballast Placement

Simply placing loose ballast on a roof or within a system is not ideal. This container offers a structured approach:

• Containment: Securely holds ballast slabs, preventing them from shifting or moving over time due to vibration or weather.
• Load Distribution: Helps distribute the ballast weight appropriately within the designated areas of the FlatFix Fusion framework, integrating with the Low Base and High Base units.
• Compatibility: Designed to accept commonly available ballast materials, as specified in Esdec's technical guidelines.

Essential for Non-Penetrating Systems

The FlatFix Fusion system often relies entirely on ballast for stability, avoiding the need for roof penetrations. This makes correct ballast calculation and placement paramount. This container ensures the weight calculated using tools like the Enstall Calculator is applied exactly where needed, working alongside aerodynamic components like the Wind Deflectors and structural parts like Stabilizers for overall system integrity.

Durable and Easy to Incorporate

Made from durable, weather-resistant materials typical of Esdec's high standards, this Ballast Container is built for long-term outdoor exposure. It's designed to be easily incorporated into the FlatFix Fusion assembly sequence, fitting logically within the structure formed by the Base Profiles and base units. Its use is integral to the system's performance and covered under the Esdec warranty.

Calculate Your Ballast Accurately

Ballast requirements vary significantly based on location, building height, and array layout. **Always** use the Enstall Calculator for Esdec for project-specific calculations. It will determine the exact amount of ballast and the number/placement of Ballast Containers required. Add the necessary containers to your basket when ordering your bases, profiles, clamps, and other FlatFix Fusion parts.
