Q: Do I need specialized skills to install Solar Ballasted Roof Racking?
A: The installation process is relatively simple but may require some basic knowledge of building and roofing construction. It is recommended that installation be performed by a professional or in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines.

Q: What are the roof loading requirements for a ballasted roof racking system?
A: When selecting the ballast weight, the load bearing capacity of the roof needs to be taken into consideration to ensure that the load bearing limitations of the roof structure are not exceeded.

Q: How does the system adapt to changes in sunlight during different seasons?
A: While ballasted racking systems are typically fixed, some systems may allow for some degree of angle adjustment to optimize sunlight reception in different seasons.
