In this installation at Urbanización Altoreal (Murcia), 15º concrete supports have been used in horizontal configuration, combined with 100 cm ballasts, for a flat roof with a gravel finish.

This solution is particularly suitable for residential installations in elevated or open areas, where stability, correct inclination of the solar panels and an installation without perforations in the roof are required.

Horizontal 15º concrete support for flat roofs

The 15º horizontal concrete support allows the solar panels to be installed horizontally (landscape), a common configuration in residential installations where the aim is to optimize the available space on the roof.

The 15-degree tilt provides the right balance between solar gain, structural stability and aesthetic integration.

In this installation at Altoreal, the supports have been placed directly on the existing gravel by means of a ballasted system, which allows:

Do not perforate the waterproofing
Maintaining the integrity of the cover
Correct load distribution
Adapting to wind conditions at high altitudes

100 cm ballast reinforcement

The use of 100 cm ballast provides a greater bearing surface and stability to the structural assembly.

This type of ballast is recommended when:

Greater wind resistance is sought
The roof is in an elevated area
A robust and durable solution is required

The ballasted system with concrete support and 100 cm ballast allows a safe installation without the need for mechanical anchors.
