GSE ART103986 In Roof System
Product Information
The GSE In-Roof System is a solar panel mounting system designed for installation on roofs. It includes frames and half-frames that securely hold the solar panels in place. The system also includes support battens and flashings for proper installation and waterproofing.
Installation Guide – Version 3.0
The installation guide provides detailed instructions for installing the
GSE In-Roof System. It includes information on calculating PV array
dimensions, selecting the appropriate frames, determining support batten
sections, junction to lower roofing elements, and installing lateral
flashings.
Frames
The GSE In-Roof System offers two types of frames: v.2012 and v.2020. The
dimensions of the frames vary depending on the selected frame and orientation
(portrait or landscape). The height and width references are provided in the
table below.
| Frame Type | Orientation | Height Reference (mm) | Width Reference (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| GSE In-Roof frames | Portrait | 1580, 1575, 1640, 1686, 1710 | 808, 1046, 1053, |
1082, 992
GSE In-Roof frames| Landscape| 1082, 808, 992, 1020| 1559, 1575, 1580, 1640
Half-Frames
The GSE In-Roof System also offers half-frames v.2022. These frames have
different dimensions compared to the full frames. The height reference is 1650
mm, and the width reference varies depending on the number of half-frames
used.
Calculation of PV array dimensions
A Frames v.2012 and v.2020
B Half-frames v.2022
In order to easily calculate the PV array dimensions of your project, don’t forget to use our PV array calculator available on our website in the « downloads » section :
Support battens of the mounting system
The sections of the support battens are determined according to climatic loads. Use roof battens only if the section is suitable to support climatic loads and if they are positionned according to the GSE battening plan (refer to the online documents)
Recommended batten section : 27×100 mm (use minimum 25×50 mm)
For other dimensions of sections, refer to the paragraphs 2.3.2 and 2.4.2 of
the installation manual.
Junction to the lower roofing elements
A. Junction in the middle of the roof
B. Junction to the gutter
When installing all the way to the eaves, the PV field can be connected
directly to the gutter with a waterproofing strip or a drip flashing.
N.B.: the drip flashing isn’t included in the GSE kit
GSE In-Roof frames grid
- Fix the 1st half-frame through its middle fixation point and through the 2 other fixation points on the upper plot already pre-drilled.
- Assemble the other half-frames laterally thanks to the ergot and vertically. Fix them the same way than described in 1.
Lateral flashings
- Place the wedges beneath the ridges of the frame
- Flashings are placed on each other (150mm overlapping)
- Straight to the clamps position, pre-drill through the flashing, plastic frame and wedge.
Solar panels
A. Cabling – Grounding
B. Laying of the solar panels
Top/corner flashings
Position the attach angles and the top flashings so that it fits the module
thickness. Make cuts on the attach angle at the position of the GSE panel
corrugations.
Follow the 3 steps below to cut the corner flashings
