BALLAST PANEL SYSTEMS: Ballast panels may only be installed on a flat roof with minimal slope for drainage purposes. Panels in a ballast system are not attached to the roof. They rely on their weights and aerodynamics to counter the wind uplift forces. 4. BALLAST PANEL SYSTEMS: Ballast panels may only be installed on a flat roof with minimal slope for drainage purposes.

Currently, there are no building code criteria, ASTM standards, ICC evaluation criteria, or other recognized industrial standard for adhesives used to anchor solar panels. Adhered photovoltaic panels may be accepted if test and analysis data, and quality control and assurance program are submitted that demonstrate an equivalent level of safety as positive mechanical anchorage systems. 5.
