Concrete ballasts for solar panels
At Hormicad, we manufacture specific concrete ballasts for photovoltaic structures, designed to increase wind stability without the need for mechanical anchors or roof penetrations.
Our additional ballasts are optimized to work with our concrete structures in rooftop installations and solar farms, ensuring safety, durability, and regulatory compliance.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on the support model. For 30-degree structures, 2 units of 50x20x10 cm are used , while for 15-degree structures, 1 unit of 96x20x12 cm is used.
Yes, the system is designed for fixation via polyurethane bead, ensuring a secure and stable bond.
The required weight depends on several factors: wind zone, building height, roof type, support inclination, and module size. At Hormicad, we recommend consulting with our technical department to ensure correct weight distribution and compliance with the Technical Building Code.
No. When combined with a rubber mat and installed correctly, the ballasts distribute weight uniformly and do not require drilling, protecting the roof’s waterproofing.
