GSE Portrait Black Top Flashing (Adjustable) – Roof Integrated Solar PV

Upgrade your solar installation with the Portrait Black Top Flashing, an adjustable roof integrated component designed for sleek, weather sealed solar PV arrays. This top flashing provides a clean, flush finish at the upper edge of your panel layout, helping panels blend seamlessly into the roof line while maintaining a fully watertight installation.

Why buy this top flashing?

• Adjustable design allows for fine tuning to match varying module thicknesses and roof profiles, giving you greater flexibility on site and reducing the need for custom modifications.
• Engineered for robust weather protection, helping to channel rainwater away from the roof deck and prevent leaks around the top edge of the array.
• Designed to work seamlessly within the GSE roof integrated system, supporting quick, straightforward installation and reducing labour time for installers.
• Discreet black finish complements most modern roofing materials, maintaining a professional and cohesive appearance that homeowners and landlords appreciate.
