The GSE Hook for Tiles Support is the fixing hook used within the GSE In-Roof System to secure solar panels onto the interlocking landscape or portrait tile support trays. Once a tray has been fixed to the roof battens, this hook allows the panel to be hooked and clamped directly onto the tray, completing the roof-integrated fixing without penetrating the roof's waterproof layer.
Manufactured by GSE Integration (part of the Wienerberger group) as part of the wider GSE In-Roof System™, this hook is engineered to the same waterproof, mechanically tested standard as the rest of the system, which has been installed across more than 4,000,000 m² of roofs over the past decade.

Why choose the GSE Tile Support Hook
Secure panel fixing
Clamps the PV panel directly onto the tile support tray, forming the mechanical link between panel and roof structure.
Part of a fully waterproof system
Works alongside the tray and flashing kit to maintain complete watertightness of the roof and PV array.
Durable materials
Constructed from stainless steel and aluminium components for long-term corrosion resistance in exposed roof conditions.
High mechanical resistance
Supports a system rated to 5,400 Pa downward and up to 5,500 Pa upward pressure resistance.
Compatible with roof windows
Forms part of a system with an available compatible flashing range for installations around roof windows.
Recyclable construction
Manufactured to be 100% recyclable in line with the rest of the GSE In-Roof System.
Please Note
This hook must be matched to the correct tray orientation and kit variant (v.A-1 for slates, v.TS-1 for curved tiles, v.TN-1 for flat interlocking tiles, or v.TP-1 for traditional flat tiles) and to the panel frame thickness in use. Confirm compatibility against your GSE In-Roof installation documentation or training material before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this hook used for?
It is the fixing hook used to clamp a solar panel onto a GSE In-Roof tile support tray, once the tray itself has been fixed to the roof battens.
Is this hook specific to a panel orientation?
The hook is used across both landscape and portrait tray configurations within the GSE In-Roof System, but must be matched to the correct tray, frame thickness and kit variant for your installation.
What frame thickness does this hook support?
The GSE In-Roof System accommodates panel frame thicknesses from 30 mm to 50 mm; confirm your panel's frame depth falls within this range before ordering.
Do I need any other components alongside this hook?
Yes. This hook is one part of the complete fixing — it is used together with the tile support tray and the appropriate flashing kit for your roof covering type.
Is this component covered by the same certification as the rest of the system?
Yes. The hook forms part of the certified GSE In-Roof System, which holds CCFAT-CSTB, BBA MCS, and DIBt approvals as a complete system.
