Ballasted Flat Roof Design Assistant

Visual Editor for BX Systems

A sophisticated visual editor is now available in the BX Design Assistant—great for small commercial projects with complex roof shapes, panels skewed to roof edges, and multiple roof planes.

The “image-based” design style option allows users to draw arrays directly onto an aerial image of buildings, then engineering values and site conditions are automatically calculated. Edit the array azimuth, remove modules where there are obstructions, create setbacks, and much more for BX Ballasted Systems!
