GAF Timberline Is Part of The 2022 Sustainable Products of the Year
According to Green Builder, GAF Timberline Solar Shingles is part of the 2022 Sustainable Products of the Year because of its impressive solar-energy generating roof shingles that a GAF MasterElite roofer can install with minimal additional knowledge.
The GAF Timberline Solar Shingle system made waves back in CES 2022 because of how it achieved everything Tesla solar shingles could do but in a much simpler and easy-to-implement way that impressed judges and consumers in the show. Tesla solar shingles achieved next-level compact solar shingle design, but the complex design limited the number of roofers who can install it to Tesla-trained and vetted professionals. In addition, the services of these Tesla roofers are expensive.
GAF made a design that its MasterElite roofers can easily implement for residential properties. While it will cost more than the average solar panel system and achieve a small difference in solar energy production, GAF Timberline Solar Shingles is easy to install over your existing asphalt shingle roofs, with contractors using conventional roof nails to keep it in place. The simplified system is lightweight yet effective for your home.

“The clock is ticking … Each day seems to bring new warnings about the human acceleration of climate change,” says Matt Power, Green Builder’s Editor-in-Chief. “We have less time than we thought to clean things up before environmental damage becomes irreversible.”
In response to this dire reality, Green Builder collects and vets 50 of the most sustainable products each year to help builders and home buyers make the best product choices for their homes. “Formerly called “The Hot 50,” this list of prominent, enviro-friendly products has a new handle: “Sustainable Products of the Year” Power explains. “This change is intended to help the 50 annual recipients spread the word of their innovations to the wider world.”
Of the 50 products selected this year, 12 were singled out for a second level of recognition: The Decarbonization Dozen. “These products go above and beyond to move the needle on CO2 reduction,” notes Power.
