MOUNTING SYSTEMS Universal ballast tray – length 1831 mm
The Mounting Systems Universal ballast tray with a length of 1831 mm is a key component for the ballasted installation of photovoltaic systems on flat roofs. It is used to securely hold weighting materials (such as paving slabs or concrete blocks) when the static requirements for wind load securing exceed the substructure's own weight.Thanks to its universal design, it can be flexibly integrated into various flat roof systems from Mounting Systems. The generous length of 1831 mm allows the ballast to be distributed over a wide area, which minimises the point load on the roof structure whilst ensuring high stability at the same time.Highlights at a glanceHigh loading volume: Provides sufficient space for a large number of ballast blocks to guarantee maximum stability even in high wind load zones.Optimal load distribution: Thanks to its length of 1831 mm, the weight is transferred evenly into the base rails, protecting the roof covering.Weather-resistant material: Made of high-quality aluminium or galvanised steel (model-dependent) to provide long-lasting protection against corrosion.Universal compatibility: Suitable for different flat roof configurations, both for south and east-west orientations.Secure fixing: The tray shape prevents the ballast blocks from slipping or falling, even under strong vibrations or inclines.Easy system integration: The tray is screwed directly to the base or connecting rails, thus becoming an integral part of the structural system.Areas of applicationThe ballast tray is indispensable for penetration-free flat roof installations:Large-scale PV installations on industrial roofsSecuring large module areas against suction and pressure forces at wind speeds in accordance with DIN EN 1991 (Eurocode 1).Roofs with sensitive waterproofingWherever mechanical fixing (screwing) into the roof is prohibited for warranty reasons.Installations near the coast or in exposed locationsAdditional weighting option for systems exposed to extreme weather conditions.Installation & safety instructionsObserve static calculationThe exact amount of ballast (in kg) per tray must be specified in the project-specific structural analysis report.Protecting the roof coveringEnsure that sufficient protection mats are placed under the contact points of the tray or rails to avoid mechanical abrasion.Even loadingDistribute the stones evenly within the tray to prevent one-sided loading of the substructure.

The required system screws and sliding blocks should be ordered in accordance with the parts list for the mounting system.
MOUNTING SYSTEMS base rail EW XL – length 2287 mm
The Mounting Systems EW XL base rail with a length of 2287 mm is the load-bearing base element for aerodynamic flat roof mounting systems in east-west orientation (EW). The "XL" version is specially optimised for accommodating large-format solar modules (multi-cell modules), which have a greater width or length than standard modules.This rail is placed directly on the roof membrane (using building protection mats) and serves as a stable base for the front and rear module supports. Due to its precise manufacturing and integrated mounting points, it enables rapid, modular assembly of the entire rail system without roof penetration.Highlights at a glanceExtra-long (XL): With a length of 2287 mm, the rail offers ample space for modern, large surface PV modules and the necessary clearances for aerodynamics.High static rigidity: The special aluminium profile is designed for high mechanical loads, to safely absorb wind and snow loads.Tool-optimised: Features prefabricated slots and hole patterns that allow precise positioning of the module supports and connectors.Ballast-optimised: The geometry of the base rail allows for easy and secure placement of ballast stones to weigh down the system.Weather-resistant aluminium: Permanent protection against corrosion, even with standing moisture on flat roofs.System integrity: Perfectly matched to the EW components from Mounting Systems for a form-fit and stable connection.Areas of applicationThe XL base rail is the backbone for large-scale flat roof projects:East-west elevations (10°/15°)Coupling two modules "back to back" for optimal use of roof space with even energy production throughout the day.Industrial & commercial roofsUsed on bitumen, foil or gravel roofs, where a ballasted solution without damaging the roof membrane is required.Large format modulesEspecially for PV modules with a width over 1.10 m or other custom dimensions that require a longer base.Installation & safety instructionsBuilding protection mats (PADs)Always place suitable building protection mats beneath the base rail to protect the roof membrane from mechanical damage and plasticiser migration.AlignmentEnsure the base rails are aligned exactly parallel to each other to avoid tension in the module field and installation problems with the connectors.Ballasting according to staticsThe rail serves as a carrier for the ballast. The exact position and quantity of stones must be taken from the project-specific structural plan.

The length of 2287 mm covers the base area of both modules, including the necessary clearances for ridge coupling and aerodynamic optimisation.Can I also use this rail for a purely south-facing orientation?Conditionally.Basically, this profile is perforated for Mounting Systems' EW system. For south-facing systems, there are often specific base rails with different lengths and hole patterns (e.g. S systems).How are the rails connected to each other?Via cross-connecting rails.The stability of the field is achieved by screwing the base rails to cross connectors. This creates a continuous grid that jointly absorbs wind loads.Is the aluminium walkable?Yes, during installation.The rail is stable enough to be carefully walked on during installation. Nevertheless, point loads directly on the roof membrane should be avoided.

The pack contains everything you need for the substructure: six height-adjustable stainless steel roof hooks, four aluminium mounting rails, and end and centre clamps in black. The dark module clamps blend discreetly into the overall appearance of the black solar panels. Ideal for a balcony power plant on the roof or a small PV system on a garden shed, garage or house.The highlights at a glanceComplete set for 2 modules: Roof hooks, rails, clamps, connectors, end caps and screws in one pack.6 stainless steel roof hooks: sturdy, corrosion-resistant and height-adjustable from 120 to 160 mm to suit different tile shapes.2460 mm rail length per row: Two rails, each 1230 mm long, are joined using a rail connector to form a continuous row.Black module clamps: for modules with a frame height of 30 to 40 mm and a width of up to 1134 mm; visually compatible with full-black modules.Designed to withstand wind and snow: wind speeds of up to 35 m/s and snow loads of 3 kN/m².Contents of the package6 adjustable stainless steel roof hooks with L-brackets and connectors4 mounting rails, each 1230 mm long (two of each make a row of 2460 mm)2 rail connectors 40 x 40 mm4 end clamps and 2 centre clamps (black)4 end capsM10 x 25 screws, flange nuts and 18 wood screwsFixing roof hooks correctlyThe roof hooks bear the entire load of the solar panels, including wind and snow loads. For this reason, they are not fixed to the tiles, but are screwed directly onto the rafters using the timber screws supplied. Before installation, measure the rafter spacing and plan the fixing points so that each hook sits centrally on a rafter. Screws that are too close to the edge of the rafter or positioned next to it are one of the most common installation errors.After installation, the tile must not rest on the roof hook, otherwise it may break under load. Thanks to the height adjustment, the hook can be set precisely to the height of the tile. If necessary, lightly sand down the tile at the point of contact using an angle grinder.Important note: Any alterations to the roof covering may affect your roofer’s warranty and your building insurance. It is best to clarify this before installation. Work on the roof should only be carried out with suitable fall protection, protective equipment and at least two people present.Installation in six stepsLifting tiles: Lift or remove the tiles at the planned hook positions across the rafters.Screwing in the roof hooks: Pre-drill holes in the rafter using a 6.7 mm drill bit and screw the roof hooks securely in place using timber screws.Adjust the height and insert the tile: Adjust the hook height so that all hooks are in a straight line and the tile does not rest on them. Tighten the clamping screws to 13–15 Nm and reinsert the tile.Connecting and fitting the rails: Connect two rails at a time using the rail connector to form a row. Position the joint between two hooks, clip the rail into the clamps and tighten to 13–15 Nm.Securing solar modules: Secure the first panel on the outside with the end clamp and on the inside with the centre clamp; secure the second panel in the opposite direction. Tighten all panel clamps to 13–15 Nm.Fitting the end caps: Clip the end caps into the ends of the rails and, finally, check and retighten all screws. Frequently asked questionsWhich solar panels is this mounting kit suitable for?For two framed solar modules, each up to 1150 mm wide.What frame height is the mounting kit suitable for?35 mm. This is standard for most solar panels, but check the data sheet for your panels before purchasing.Can I expand to three or four modules?Yes. For each additional module, you’ll need an extension kit containing 2 roof hooks, 2 rails, 2 rail connectors and 2 centre clamps.Does the fitting kit fit any tiled roof?It is designed for traditional roof tiles and roof pans. For plain tiles, slate or metal roofs, different roof hooks are required.Why are the roof hooks height-adjustable?Tiles vary in shape and height. Thanks to the adjustment range of 120 to 160 mm, the tile does not rest on the hook and is not damaged.Where are the roof hooks fixed?Always on the rafters, never on the tiles. The screws should be positioned in the centre of the rafter.
