FAQs

Does this system replace my roof tiles?

Yes, this system is designed to replace the tiles or slates in the area where the solar panels are installed, providing a flush-fit roof finish.

Is the GSE system waterproof?

Yes, the GSE system is engineered to be 100% watertight, acting as a functional part of the roof covering.

Can I install this on an existing roof?

Yes, it is suitable for solar retrofits, but it requires the removal of the existing roofing material in the installation zone.

What is the primary material used?

The frames are constructed from high-performance, lightweight thermoplastic.

Does the system affect panel cooling?

In-roof systems have slightly less airflow than raised systems, but the GSE design is optimized to maintain adequate performance within standard operating parameters.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps between frames

Ensure all interlocking clips are fully engaged and the underlying battens are perfectly level.

Water pooling near the array edges

Check the surrounding flashing and ensure that the GSE system is correctly integrated with the existing roof tiles to allow proper water shedding.

Panel does not fit flush

Verify that the solar panel dimensions precisely match the 1765/1090 specification and that no debris is trapped in the frame channel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior aesthetic appearance compared to on-roof systems
  • Provides a fully integrated, watertight roof covering
  • Lightweight design minimizes stress on roof rafters
  • High-quality thermoplastic construction ensures durability
  • Reliable, field-tested integration system from a premier manufacturer

Cons

  • Requires removing existing roof tiles during installation
  • More labor-intensive than traditional surface-mounted racks
  • Less ventilation for panels compared to on-roof systems
  • Specific compatibility requirements for panel dimensions
  • Not suitable for all roof types or existing roof structures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation must be performed by qualified solar installers who are familiar with roof integration techniques. Ensure the roof battens are correctly spaced before beginning. Always verify that your specific solar panel dimensions match the 1765/1090 frame specifications.

Compatibility: This system is intended for use with PV modules compatible with the 1765mm x 1090mm landscape footprint. It is generally compatible with most standard residential roof pitches.

Care: Regularly inspect the edges of the array to ensure debris has not built up in the drainage channels. While the system is weather-tight, maintaining clear airflow is important for panel efficiency. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the thermoplastic components.
