Prefabricated blocks for photovoltaic project support foundation

Can a reinforced concrete block support a solar panel above ground?

In areas where penetration of the ground is difficult or restricted for archaeological or safety reasons, our reinforced concrete blocks are the perfect solution, providing ballast to support these solar panels above ground. Our solar panel ballast blocks are designed to provide support to multiple panels.

What types of solar ballast footings does Conigliaro block manufacture?

Can a block be used to support solar panels?

An environmentally friendly solution, using blocks instead of penetrating the land means a field can be quickly returned to agricultural use if required. An example of free-standing concrete bases being used to support solar panels can be seen at Wellingborough solar farm.

Should I use precast concrete ballast blocks for my solar panel project?

Choosing to use our precast concrete ballast blocks for your solar panel project can provide you with added flexibility. Ballast blocks can be used on flat commercial-style roofs, where it is not possible to penetrate the roof surface, and are simpler to install than penetrating systems.

Can a concrete base support solar panels?

An example of free-standing concrete bases being used to support solar panels can be seen at Wellingborough solar farm. Due to an archaeological restriction on part of the land, our bespoke division manufactured 275 reinforced concrete blocks, this allowed a group of panels to be erected without the need for excavation.

What types of foundations are used for solar panels?

Different foundations are used based on the site’s soil conditions, local regulations, and project scale. Concrete Ballast: Concrete blocks or pads are strategically placed on the ground to provide weight and stability to the solar array. This non-penetrating foundation is often used when soil penetration is restricted or prohibited.
