⚡ Why should you ballast a Sunology station?
The Sunology Play solar station weighs 29 kg without ballasting. If it is simply placed on the ground, it can be subject to gusts of wind, especially in areas exposed to extreme weather conditions.
📌 A good ballasting allows you to:
✔️ Stabilize the station to prevent it from tipping over.
✔️ Optimize its performance by keeping it well-oriented.
✔️ Ensure safety and avoid any risk of being uprooted by the wind.
🪨 What types of ballast to use for a Sunology station?
Depending on your installation and your budget, several options are available to effectively ballast your Sunology station.
✅ Recommended ballasting options
✔️ Concrete slabs or patio slabs 🏗️
👉 Best quality/price ratio, easy to install and very effective.
✔️ Stones, pavers, or sandbags 🏝️
👉 Ideal for a temporary or mobile installation.
✔️ Gravel 🪵
👉 Suitable for the ballasting containers provided with the station, as long as the aggregates are more than 1 cm in diameter (prevents drainage through the holes).
📌 Capacity of Sunology ballasting containers
The containers provided with the Sunology station can support up to 100 kg of ballast, ensuring a solid anchoring.
🌪️ What ballast weight according to wind resistance?
📊 Recommended ballasting table according to wind speed
| Wind speed (km/h) | Recommended weight (kg) |
|---|---|
| ≤ 50 km/h | 40 kg |
| ≤ 70 km/h | 60 kg |
| ≤ 90 km/h | 80 kg |
| ≥ 90 km/h | Add 10 kg for every 10 km/h increase |
📌 In cases of extreme winds
If you live in an area exposed to winds over 100 km/h, it is advisable to fold the Sunology Play station in case of a weather alert to avoid any wind catch.
