Esdec FlatFix Fusion Ballast Container 1700

Esdec FlatFix Fusion Ballast Container 1700 – Secure Weighting for Flat Roof Solar Arrays

The Esdec FlatFix Fusion Ballast Container 1700 is an essential component in any ballasted FlatFix Fusion installation. Designed to hold paving slabs or similar weights, it ensures your solar panels remain stable and secure without penetrating the roof surface. By positioning ballast precisely where calculated, this container keeps your array safely anchored even under high winds or changing weather conditions, helping you maintain reliable solar performance year after year.

Structured, Secure Ballast Placement

Ballast Containers play a key structural role in distributing system weight evenly across the FlatFix Fusion framework:

• Purpose-Built Containment: Holds concrete slabs securely in place, preventing lateral movement or vibration over time.
• Optimised Load Transfer: Ensures ballast loads are spread evenly through the Low Bases, High Bases and Base Profiles.
• System Compatibility: Fully integrated with the modular FlatFix Fusion design for predictable structural behaviour.

Designed for Non-Penetrative Roof Systems

FlatFix Fusion relies on carefully balanced ballast rather than roof fixings. The Ballast Container 1700 allows accurate placement of this weight, ensuring aerodynamic performance alongside other stability features such as Rear Wind Deflectors and Stabilisers. This design keeps roof membranes intact while delivering the strength needed to meet wind-load requirements in accordance with Esdec engineering standards.

Durable, Weather-Resistant Build

Manufactured from tough, UV-stable composite materials, the Ballast Container 1700 is engineered for decades of rooftop exposure. It resists cracking, corrosion and deformation, maintaining performance throughout the system’s lifetime and underpinned by Esdec’s long-term product warranty (typically 20 years).

Plan Your Ballast Layout Precisely

Every roof requires a different ballast configuration depending on height, exposure and wind zone. Use the Esdec Enstall Calculator to determine the exact ballast weights, quantities and container placement for your project. Once calculated, add the correct number of Ballast Container 1700 units to your basket along with the required bases, profiles, clamps and other FlatFix Fusion components to complete your installation.
