GSE IN ROOF Frame Portrait DPO - 1650/1135 (Half Frame)

The GSE IN ROOF Frame Portrait DPO 1650/1135 is a half-frame tray designed to support portrait-oriented PV modules within the GSE in-roof integration system. Introduced as part of the 2022 half-frame design range to accommodate the increasingly larger and more powerful modules entering the market, this tray accepts panels with heights from 1610 to 1800 mm and widths from 1130 to 1135 mm. This listing is for one half frame only; two halves are required per module.

Key Features

• Half-frame tray design introduced in 2022, specifically developed to keep pace with the expanding PV module market and the trend toward larger, wider module formats
• Accepts PV modules within a height range of 1610 to 1800 mm and a width range of 1130 to 1135 mm, providing compatibility with a broad selection of current panel sizes
• Interlocking two-part tray system assembles to form a complete mounting platform per module within the roof plane
• Lightweight system at 2-3 kg/m², keeping additional structural load on the roof to a minimum
• Manufactured from 100% recyclable materials
• Compatible with a comprehensive range of roof coverings including curved tiles, interlocking tiles, flat tiles, slates, metal, zinc, and trapezoidal profiles
• Suitable for both new build and retrofit installations

System Capabilities

• The GSE IN ROOF system enables full in-roof PV module integration on virtually every common roof covering type, replacing tiles within the array footprint with flush-mounted solar modules
• Plastic trays interlock to create a continuous, weathertight mounting plane across the full array area
• Trays are fixed to roof battens with surrounding tiles fitting up to the perimeter flashing, and PV modules are then hooked onto the assembled trays and secured with GSE module clamps
• The system must be installed on the wooden or metallic substructure of the building, mounted on specific battens adapted to the local climatic conditions
• Supports roof slopes between 12° and 50°

Installation Notes

• This product is one half of a complete frame. Two half frames must be ordered per PV module in the array
• Verify module compatibility against the PV panel tolerances for this frame: height 1610 - 1800 mm, width 1130 - 1135 mm. Always cross-reference with the GSE tolerance table before ordering
• Module sizes vary across manufacturers and product ranges. Use the GSE design tools and tolerance table to confirm the correct frame size for the specific PV module being installed
• Fix half-frame trays to roof battens in accordance with the GSE batten plan. Installation manuals are available for both 50mm and 100mm batten configurations
• Complete the array perimeter using GSE lateral flashings, top flashings, corner pieces, and pre-compressed foam sealant to achieve a fully weathertight installation
• Secure PV modules to the assembled trays using GSE mid clamps and end clamps of the appropriate height variant
• Must be used exclusively with GSE in-roof system components to maintain full system compatibility and manufacturer warranty conditions

Certifications and Compliance

• MCS certified (MCS V11.2) for use within Microgeneration Certification Scheme registered installations
