GSE Box Base - Right + Left Side (Thickness 1mm) V2 - ART102859

Description

This is the left and right side panel of the ballast box base used in the GSE Ground System, GSE's ground-mounted frame for photovoltaic modules. Made from 1mm galvanised steel, it forms two of the four walls of the ballast box that anchors each ground-mounted module bay to the ground using sand, gravel, cement or concrete slabs rather than roof penetrations.

The GSE Ground System is built up from a small set of pressed steel box-base panels; this side panel is used together with the corresponding front-and-back panel (ART102852) to complete each ballast box.

What is the GSE Box Base side panel used for?

It forms the left and right walls of the ballast box base in the GSE Ground System, the ground-mounted frame used to install PV modules without roof space or groundworks.

Is this part compatible with the GSE In-Roof System?

No. This is a GSE Ground System component. It is not used with, and is not compatible with, the GSE In-Roof System.

What other parts do I need alongside this panel?

Each ballast box also requires the front-and-back panel (ART102852), plus the corner brackets, corner pieces and fixings specified in the GSE Ground System installation manual.

How is the ballast box weighted down?

Once assembled, the box is filled with sand, gravel, cement or concrete slabs. GSE recommends around 120kg per module at a standard 40° tilt in typical wind conditions.

What tilt angles does the GSE Ground System support?

The system can be set to any angle from 7° up to 40° by selecting the appropriate adjustable corner piece length.
