FAQ's FAQs About The Ballast Solar System Type-C

How would you choose between NOVA Ballast System Type C and Type M? 

Type C is specially made for larger-scale solar projects as it uses less material in bigger arrays, resulting in a more cost-effective solution at large-scale solar projects. Type M is made for maximum flexibility. Installing smaller-scale solar systems and single solar panels is easier and faster with Type M.

North-South Configuration produces more energy per solar panel as it maximises exposure to direct sunlight while the east-west configuration maximises solar output on limited roof space and generates energy more consistently throughout the day.
