GAF Solar: A Simple Solution With Complex Capabilities

Solar panels are the best solution for rising power costs. With a top-notch solar panel system from any leading manufacturer, you can finally escape the gripping cost of power with a complex and technical solution that experts can install within a single day. 

This technology does come with various issues. First, solar panels are bulky and need proper foundations, so it will affect the structure of your roofing material. Second, your area must have adequate weather; hot, tropical weather isn’t exactly the best for the electronic component of solar panels. Lastly, these systems need approval from your HOA because your roof is going to look like it came from the future.

It is for this reason that many homeowners and innovators admire GAF’s Timberline solar shingle line. These look like regular roofing materials but they can collect solar energy and power your home efficiently if installed by a certified GAF team.

Timberline Solar Shingles has made waves in the solar community and the power industry in general. The groundbreaking work has had Time Magazine dub it one of the most ingenious inventions of 2022. 

If you’d like to learn more about GAF solar shingles, you can read an excerpt about its groundbreaking technology in their post.

Water-shedding and warranted

Timberline Solar™ is made up of shingles, not panels or heavy tiles. These shingles are water-shedding, strong and warranted to withstand winds up to 130 mph. Rack-mounted solar installations—where the solar is separate from the roof–require the drilling of dozens of holes into the roof membrane. Any resulting damage related to those holes is not typically covered by roof warranties.

For homeowners who already know the quality of GAF roofing products, the Timberline Solar™ roof has the same wind and water-shedding warranty coverage as Timberline HD.

Curb appeal

Investing in a home is no small matter – and the way it looks is important. Timberline Solar™ has a design that blends in with the aesthetic of the house, with elements that add visual appeal like an architectural shingle.

Here at GAF Energy, we strive to not just meet homeowners expectations for roofing reliability, but to achieve breakthroughs with aesthetics.

With a GAF Energy solar roof, you’ll not only get a roof that’s durable and has curb appeal, it’s also financially smart, since you can save on your energy bills over time.

“I love that my customers can get a new roof AND solar at the same time, from one source… R E Roofing. As a roofer, I’m committed to giving my customers a roof that looks good and protects them from the elements. And by getting the roof and solar from us, I’m not dealing with follow-up calls from one of my customers about punctures in the shingles from a rack-mounted solar system. This is one sleek, integrated design that all works together.”

It makes sense (and cents)

A solar roof is one project, one design, one crew, one straightforward proposition. And, it may pay for itself over time, as it generates energy for the home and reduces monthly electric bills.

“The overall cost of my roof with the solar was surprisingly affordable and the financing they offered was very competitive. Having the same installer for both the shingles and solar simplified the installation process and eliminated the need for contacting multiple parties if any issues arise.”

Ryan B.

GAF Energy Customer Westminster, Maryland
