Ecological Ballast Mount

Energy Efficiency

The team focuses on addressing the high cost of metal-intensive ballast fastening systems for solar power plants. The proposed solution is to replace the metal concrete guide element with prestressed concrete, which is a lightweight and cost-effective alternative. This can be achieved by manufacturing the necessary elements at two enterprises in Moldova and assembling a more economical ballast mounting system for photovoltaic panels. The use of prestressed concrete reduces the amount of metal required and lowers the cost of the system. It also reduces assembly time and can be used for buildings and roofs with low load-bearing capacity. The solution aims to provide a ready-to-use ballast system for fastening photovoltaic panels on roofs. The target market includes installers of ballast rooftop solar power plants, and the potential impact includes cost savings and reduced installation time. The leadership team consists of the founder, who has experience in the construction and sales of solar power plants, and their wife, who contributes precise questioning skills. The funding request is made to support the implementation of the business idea and ensure economic security for the family.
