Ballasted rooftop solar installation in Southbury Connecticut by Solara Solar
Southbury, Connecticut Actual Solara Solar Ballasted Installation
Southbury CT Ballasted Solar Installation

Not every roof uses the same mounting system.

This actual Southbury project uses a ballasted solar mounting system, a solution commonly considered for certain flat or low slope roof applications.

The visible concrete blocks are not leftover construction material. They are intentional ballast weights incorporated into the solar mounting system.

Why are there blocks on the roof? They are part of the engineered ballasted solar mounting system.

Ballasted solar uses calculated weight to secure the array. The correct mounting approach depends on the structure, roof type, engineering requirements and conditions of the specific property.

Southbury CT Solar Financing and Ownership Options

Two ways to go solar. You own it. Or a third party owns it.

Southbury homeowners can purchase and own their solar system or choose an eligible third party owned structure such as a PPA. Battery storage can be considered with either path.

You Own

Purchase Your Solar System

Pay upfront or finance a homeowner owned residential solar system. You retain ownership of the solar equipment installed on the home.

Third Party Owned

PPA or Lease

A third party owns the solar equipment while the homeowner uses the energy under the terms of the agreement, reducing the upfront investment required to go solar.

Custom Connecticut Solar Design

Different home. Different solar design.

A quality solar installation should be designed around the home in front of us rather than copied from the house down the street.

Roof geometry, shading, usable roof space, aesthetics and electrical conditions can completely change the right system layout.
