Gaia Rubber Self-Ballasted Solar Mounting System – South-Facing, 10° Flat Roof

The Gaia rubber self-ballasted mounting system installs solar panels on flat roofs in a south-facing configuration at a 10° tilt angle. The base is made from 100% recycled rubber, which eliminates roof penetrations and protects waterproof membranes. No tools are required for assembly. The interlocking design locks rows together to resist wind without requiring additional ballast blocks in most cases.

The system can also be configured for east-west orientation or adapted for southeast and southwest roof aspects. Further installation guidance and a short video are available on the Voltacon solar blog.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Flat roof residential and commercial south-facing solar installations
• Exposed rooftops where wind load requires a low-profile system
• Installations where roof penetration must be avoided

Installation Notes

Installation should be carried out by a qualified solar installer. Ballast requirements depend on site wind exposure, roof height and panel size and must be calculated before installation. All electrical connections to panels must comply with current wiring regulations.
