The Belgard Solar Slab & Solar Block are concrete utility blocks designed for specialized non‑paving applications in landscaping and construction. These units are commonly used as ballast bases for solar panel systems or as weight anchors and support blocks where a compact, stable, concrete unit is needed. They feature a concrete block form that is heavy enough to support loads without penetrating the surface below, making them a useful accessory for installations that can’t be drilled or anchored traditionally.
Unlike Belgard’s paver and wall systems, Solar Slabs & Blocks aren’t intended for aesthetic paving or wall construction — they’re functional support elements often specified for solar installations and similar projects.
⚠️ Important: These units are not designed for pedestrian paving, driveway use, or structural wall construction. They serve a functional, weight/ballast role in landscape or rooftop applications.
