What I noticed
The Renusol Console+ is designed specifically for flat roofs — garages, outbuildings, extensions. Panels sit at a fixed 15° tilt (optimal for UK latitudes) and the system is ballasted with paving slabs rather than bolted through the membrane.
Installation notes
You'll need to calculate ballast weight based on your site's wind speed zone — Renusol provides a free online calculator. A flat-roof flat sitting on a domestic garage typically needs 10–15kg of ballast per tray. Check your roof's load-bearing capacity first.
