HDPE Plastic Solar Ballast Mounting System for Flat Roof Mounting Bracket
Looking for a safe, easy, and roof-friendly way to install solar panels on flat roofs? Our HDPE Plastic Solar Ballast Mounting System is the perfect solution. Made from strong plastic that lasts over 25 years, this system is ideal for places where you can’t make holes in the roof.
✅ What Is It?
This is a heavy-duty plastic base that holds solar panels in place without drilling holes in your roof. It’s made from HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), a super-strong plastic that’s used outdoors because it doesn’t break, rust, or fade in the sun.

🌟 Why It’s Great

- ⚡ Fast Setup – Just 30 minutes per kW
- 💨 Wind-Resistant – Holds strong in winds up to 130 mph
- ⏳ Long-Lasting – 25-year durability, no corrosion
- 🏠 Fits Any Flat Roof – Works on TPO, EPDM, PVC, and more
🧱 What It’s Made Of
HDPE Plastic is:
- ☀️ UV-resistant – won’t break down in sunlight
- 🌊 Corrosion-free – unlike metal, perfect for salty air
- ❄️ Heat & Cold Proof – works from -40°F to 180°F
- ♻️ Eco-Friendly – fully recyclable
⚖️ How It Stays in Place
You can add different ballast options depending on the site:
- 💧 Water – for temporary use
- 🏖 Sand or Concrete – for long-term setup

➡️ Supports 5–15 pounds per square foot.
