For this home, we selected the GSE In-Roof System™—a solar integration solution that replaces traditional roofing and delivers a clean, uniform, long-lasting finish. While final touches are still underway, we wanted to share an early look at the result, which highlights the system’s refined aesthetics and discreet integration.

Project details

  • System type: GSE In-Roof System™
  • Panels used: Sonnex Shingled, portrait orientation
  • Roof compatibility: interlocking tiles, flat tiles, slate
  • Supporting structure: timber frame with adapted battens
  • Supported tilt: 12° to 50°

Site specifics

The system was installed directly onto a timber structure with custom-designed battens to optimise load distribution and ensure perfect stability. The portrait layout paired with Sonnex Shingled panels creates a seamless black surface that blends into the roofline and complements the home’s architecture.

Our response

For this project, we handled the full installation: structural study, carpentry adaptation, batten preparation, GSE system placement, and panel integration. The result is a discreet, weather-resistant, durable solution that enhances both the home’s appearance and its energy performance.
