Product Description
East-west orientation Hot Dip Galvanized Ballasted Solar Panel Flat Roof Mounting Brackets
The East-West Orientation Solar Mounting Brackets are engineered for flat roofs, offering a non-penetrative, corrosion-resistant solution optimized for vertical east-west alignment. Designed with hot-dip galvanized steel, this system ensures exceptional durability in harsh environments (e.g., coastal or high-snowfall regions). The ballasted design eliminates roof drilling, preserving waterproof integrity while distributing weight evenly to accommodate low-load roofs (≥0.5 kN/m²). Compatible with bifacial solar panels, this system maximizes energy capture by leveraging rear-side irradiation, especially in vertical east-west orientations that reduce midday shading and enhance morning/afternoon sunlight absorption.

Product advantages
1.Optimized East-West Orientation
Vertical alignment reduces inter-row shading and increases energy yield by 15-20% compared to traditional south-facing layouts.
Ideal for regions with limited roof space or dual-use applications like agrivoltaics (combined agriculture and solar power).
2.Superior Corrosion Resistance
Hot-dip galvanized steel withstands saltwater, UV exposure, and extreme weather, with a lifespan exceeding 25 years.
3.Ballasted & Non-Penetrative Design
Pre-weighted concrete/steel trays secure panels without roof penetration, ideal for lightweight roofs.
Modular components reduce installation time by 40% (2-3 hours per kW).
4.Bifacial Panel Compatibility
Open-frame structure minimizes rear-side shading, boosting bifacial efficiency by 15-30%.
Tilt angles (0-30°) adapt to seasonal sunlight variations.
5.Cost-Effective & Scalable
Factory-direct pricing lowers bulk project costs by 20-30%.
Scalable design supports future expansions for commercial or residential complexes.
Installation & Maintenance
Installation Steps
Roof Assessment: Verify load capacity and clear debris.
Ballast Tray Placement: Distribute trays according to wind/snow load maps (no drilling).
Rail Assembly: Secure galvanized rails to trays with anti-slip clamps.
Panel Mounting: Attach panels using universal clamps (tool-free design).
Orientation Adjustment: Optimize east-west tilt angle for maximum sunlight.
Maintenance Guidelines
Biannual Inspections: Check bolts, clamps, and galvanized surfaces for corrosion.
Seasonal Cleaning: Remove debris to maintain panel efficiency.
Post-Weather Audits: Verify ballast stability after storms or heavy snow.
Application Scenarios
Commercial Buildings: Factories and warehouses with large flat roofs.
Agrivoltaic Systems: Dual-use installations for crops and energy generation.
Residential Complexes: Apartment rooftops with space constraints.
Solar Carports: Vertical structures for parking shade and power generation.

FAQ
1.Why choose east-west orientation?
Reduces midday shading and optimizes morning/afternoon sunlight, increasing daily energy yield.
2.Does this system work with bifacial panels?
Yes. The open-frame design maximizes rear-side light absorption.
3.What is the minimum roof load capacity?
Requires ≥0.5 kN/m², suitable for lightweight roofs.
4.How to handle high wind speeds?
Ballast trays and galvanized rails are certified for wind speeds up to 60 m/s.
5.Is professional installation required?
No. Pre-assembled components and manuals enable DIY installation.
