Compatibility
Fits almost all panels on the market
The ValkBox3 accepts panels up to 1 150 mm wide, covering almost all 400–470 W modules sold today. It is suitable for flat roofs, concrete terraces, slabs, gardens and open surfaces. The system is also ideal for temporary or movable installations.
The ballast table supplied with the ValkBox3 indicates the required weight according to the wind zone and building height. In mainland France, generally allow 2 to 4 pavement slabs (30×30 cm, approximately 10–15 kg each) per unit. If in doubt, allow a slight excess of ballast — this poses no risk to the structure.
« How many ValkBox3 units do I need for my installation? »
One ValkBox3 is required per solar panel. For a 4-panel kit, order 4 units. For a system with 10 modules, you need 10. Each box supports one panel independently.
« Is this mounting system compatible with my panel? »
The ValkBox3 is compatible with all panels less than or equal to 1 150 mm wide. Check the « width » dimension in your panel's datasheet. Standard 440–470 W formats (approximately 1 134 mm) are compatible. If in doubt, contact our team on 04 83 58 04 79.
