Wind uplift is a significant risk for rooftop solar installations, particularly in high-wind areas. To mitigate this risk, securing the panels with an appropriate fixing system is essential.

There are two primary methods of fixing: mechanical fixing involves fastening the panels securely to the roof. At the same time, ballasted systems are weight-based systems that hold the panels in place without penetrating the roof membrane.
