The GSE In-Roof System Landscape Evolution half-frame (1760 x 1090mm) is the modular mounting tray at the heart of GSE Intégration's roof-integrated solar system. Manufactured from regenerated, 100% recyclable polypropylene, each half-frame clips together with its matching pair to form a tile-replacement tray that carries the PV module, the flashing kit, and the cabling channel in one interlocking assembly.
Two half-frames are required per PV module (landscape orientation), sized for panels within 1756–1760mm (L) x 1090–1150mm (W). The system is MCS 012 certified (KIWA00041) and carries a 10-year system warranty when installed per GSE's installation manual. Manufacturer reference: ART106485.

Please Note
Always cross-check the module's confirmed length and width in millimetres against the frame reference size before ordering — half-frame sizing is module-specific and non-interchangeable between frame references.
Interlocking Tray Design
Half-frames clip together row by row using GSE's landscape/portrait interlock, removing the need for separate rails between modules within a row.
Recyclable Polypropylene Construction
Moulded from regenerated polypropylene, fully recyclable at end of life, supporting the system's sustainability credentials.
BIPV Roof Replacement
Functions as a building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system, replacing the section of tiles or slates under the array rather than sitting on top of them.
MCS 012 & BS 5534 Compliant
Wind uplift resistance of 2.25 kN/m² under MCS 012, wind-load tested to Eurocode 1 and BS 5534 UK wind-zone tables.
Fire-Rated Roof Covering
Rated BRoof(t4) for external fire performance, suitable for use on domestic and small commercial roofs across the UK.
10-Year System Warranty
Backed by a 10-year GSE system warranty when the half-frames, flashings, and clamps are installed together per the official installation manual.

Please Note
This frame is sized for PV modules measuring 1756–1760 mm in length and 1090–1150 mm in width, per the GSE half-frame compatibility table (article ART106485). A different, adjacent frame reference (ART106310) covers 1761–1765 mm modules — check your module's exact length before ordering to avoid a mismatch between the two closely-sized frames.
Good to Know
Half-frames are supplied without clamps, rails, or flashings. These are ordered separately according to module frame thickness (30–35 mm) and roof covering type — see GSE's clamp and flashing compatibility tables.
Important Safety Information
In-roof installation involves working with roof structure, weatherproofing, and electrical connections. Installation must follow GSE's official installation manual and comply with MCS, local building regulations, and electrical safety standards. Use a qualified, trained installer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many half-frames are needed per landscape panel?
Each landscape-oriented PV module requires two half-frames, which interlock side by side to form the mounting tray.
What's the difference between landscape and portrait half-frames?
Landscape half-frames are wider and shorter, designed for panels mounted in landscape orientation; portrait half-frames are taller and narrower. The two are not interchangeable and use different frame references.
Are clamps and rails included with this half-frame?
No — clamps (top, middle, bottom end clamps), bottom rails, and flashings are ordered separately, sized to the module's frame thickness and the roof covering type.
What roof coverings is the Landscape Evolution system compatible with?
The system suits slates and flat tiles, and all interlocking tiles (curved or flat), on roof pitches from 12° to 60°.
What is the system's wind uplift resistance?
The GSE In-Roof Landscape System is rated to a wind uplift resistance of 2.25 kN/m² under MCS 012, with full wind-zone tables available for site-specific verification.
