Case Study: Kseng Ballasted System Enables Seamless Solar Retrofit on Existing Pergola in Azerbaijan

This case study showcases the versatility of Kseng's mounting solutions. For a client in Azerbaijan, we provided a ballasted aluminum mounting system that successfully transformed an existing, standard pergola into a clean energy generator. Our solution demonstrates how homeowners and businesses can easily retrofit solar power onto standing structures without the need for drilling, welding, or complex modifications.

The Client's Challenge: Upgrading an Existing Structure

The client owned a sturdy, pre-built pergola and wanted to leverage its unused rooftop space for solar energy. The primary constraints were clear:

*Preserve the Original Structure: Avoid any drilling or penetration into the existing pergola framework to maintain its integrity and warranty.

*Ensure a Secure Fit: Provide a robust and wind-resistant connection to the existing beams.

*Aesthetic Integration: The added mounting system should look clean and intentional, not like an afterthought.

The Kseng Retrofit Solution: Secure, Non-Invasive, and Elegant

Kseng delivered a custom-engineered ballasted mounting system that addressed every challenge:

*Non-Penetrating Ballasted Base: Custom ballast trays securely hold the entire system in place using weight, entirely eliminating the need to drill into the client's existing pergola.

*Lightweight Aluminum Construction: The high-strength aluminum brackets and rails add minimal weight to the existing structure while providing maximum durability and corrosion resistance.

*Adaptable Clamping Design: Our system featured adjustable clamps that securely attached to the existing pergola's horizontal beams, ensuring a perfect fit and a rigid, stable platform for the PV modules.

The Outcome: A Perfect Fusion of Old and New

The project was a resounding success. The client's pergola was effortlessly upgraded into a dual-purpose power plant and shade provider. The sleek, silver aluminum mounting system complemented the original structure's aesthetics.

"Kseng's system was exactly what we needed. We didn't want to alter our beautiful pergola, and their ballasted frame allowed us to add solar panels securely and elegantly. The installation was straightforward, and the result looks fantastic," the client reported.
