Product Information

Full details

The GSE Integration Lateral Flashing 1290mm is designed for solar installers and homeowners looking for a seamless, aesthetically pleasing BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) solution. It serves as a vital component for integrating solar arrays directly into rooftop surfaces by replacing traditional tiles or slates with a reliable, watertight seal. While it offers a sleek European-designed finish, users should note that installation requires a precise fit to match specific roof configurations and module dimensions.

FAQs

Is the 1290mm flashing compatible with all solar panels?

It is designed for standard panels, but always check your module dimensions to ensure they align with the 1290mm length for a proper flush fit.

Can I install this on an existing roof?

Yes, but it typically requires removing the existing tiles or slates in the installation area to integrate the GSE system directly into the roof deck.

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

Follow the installation manual provided with the GSE kit, paying close attention to the overlap requirements for the flashing components.

Is this product suitable for metal roofs?

GSE systems are primarily optimized for tile or slate roofs; please consult a technician regarding specific compatibility with metal standing-seam roofs.

What maintenance is required for the flashing?

Keep the area free of organic debris like pine needles or leaves to ensure water flows off the flashing correctly.

Troubleshooting

Water leakage around the edges of the array

Check that the lateral flashing is correctly overlapped with the roof tiles and that all seals are securely fastened.

Flashing does not sit flush with the roof

Verify that the sub-structure or mounting battens are level and that no uneven roof shingles are obstructing the fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly enhances the aesthetic look of rooftop solar installations
  • Eliminates the need for traditional heavy tiles or slates
  • Highly compatible with existing roof structures and skylight placements
  • Provides a durable, weather-resistant barrier for the roof surface

Cons

  • Requires professional installation to ensure a watertight seal
  • Less forgiving than standard rack-mounted systems if dimensions are measured incorrectly
  • Limited to specific panel dimensions that align with the 1290mm flashing length

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the GSE Lateral Flashing should be performed by a qualified solar technician to ensure compliance with building codes. The flashing is compatible with most standard residential roof pitches. Before installation, confirm the length of your solar modules to ensure the 1290mm flashing matches the vertical span of your layout. To maintain the system, perform a bi-annual inspection of the flashing to ensure all seals are intact and that there is no debris buildup, such as leaves or moss, that could impede water drainage from the array sides.
