Solar Ballast Blocks

Stowell Solar Ballast Blocks are designed to work with ground mounted table type framing systems so that piling is not required.

Solar Ballast Blocks are often the best solution for:

• Old landfill sites
• Flood plains
• Sites with archaeological interest
• Sites with utilities underground
• Sites which are cost saving

Stowell Solar Blocks are generally manufactured using a semi-dry 10.4N/mm² block mix using Class 1 limestone aggregates.

The proposed range will include two sizes, each with four heights. Stocks of each product will allow small jobs to be supplied ex stock, but bigger jobs are ideally manufactured about two weeks prior to delivery/ collection. Due to our manufacturing process, volumes of 750 full units or 1,500 half units can be produced per day.

Delivery Options

Stowell Solar Ballast Blocks can be delivered direct to site nationwide. These blocks can be delivered on articulated lorries for either mechanical crane offload to the side of the lorry or on flatbed/ curtain sided lorries for the customer to unload. Options for self-unload are delivered on chargeable pallets,  bearers or delivered flat on the bed of the vehicle for grab unload.

The pallet/ bearer options make unloading quicker. The delivery lorry's first hour on site is free of charge, then £100 per hour thereafter. Unloading with a mechanical scissor grab in conjunction with a telehandler or similar could take longer, but the same grab can be used to position the Solar Ballast Blocks.
