NOVA - Model Type-M -Ballast System
The NOVA Ballast System Type-M is a modular solar mounting system specifically engineered for small-scale commercial rooftop applications. It addresses the challenge of maximizing solar potential on constrained or complex roof layouts with its adaptable design. The system allows individual panels to be conveniently placed for optimal sunlight exposure, thus enhancing solar energy capture. Structurally, it employs a front and rear leg architecture featuring triangular geometry, providing both strength and cost-efficiency. The rear leg adapts to various orientations, while the compact railing system ensures ease of assembly. Integrated side and rear wind deflectors secure cable management and ballast setup effectively. Built from durable 6005-T5 aluminum, the system withstands extreme weather conditions, including heavy snow and high winds, complying with building regulations. Compatibility with larger photovoltaic modules and a variety of roof types further showcases its versatility. With up to 30% quicker installation time and a 25-year warranty, the Type-M ensures reliable performance and efficiency.
Built For Maximizing Solar Energy Capture
Maximising solar potential on small or obstructed roofs can be tricky. Nova’s ballast system Type-M eliminated this challenge. Its simple, modular design lets you easily put single panels anywhere on the roof. It gives you the freedom to place panels where they get the most sunlight, boosting your system’s sunlight capture.
FRONT LEG
