In order to enhance the water tightness of the building, block the invasion of wind and rain to the building, effectively protect the safety of the roof and wall structure materials and equipment, many roofs will be covered with film. But what is the best way to install solar PV system mounting on such a roof?

We can't drill holes in the roof directly, nor can we pour concrete piers on the roof. So we have to consider the ballast installation method. But the solar panel brackets are generally aluminum alloy or galvanized steel. If not properly handled, the roof film is easy to be broken by the metal structure, it is necessary to avoid the direct contact between the metal bracket and the roof firm.

Sunforson pasted the EPDM under the metal base plate of the solar panel structure. Concrete blocks are pressed directly on the tripods and between the panel arrays. Sunforson also customized the EPDM with larger contact surface at the place where the concrete blocks are placed. In this way, it prevents all metal brackets and concrete blocks from coming into contact with the roof and protects the film.
