GAF vs. Tesla Solar Shingles: Which One to Choose?

GAF vs. Tesla Solar Shingles: Which One to Choose?

GAF Timberline Solar Shingles stole the show last CES 2022 because of its remarkable simplicity and maximum efficiency. Consumers were charmed by its installation procedure: it only needed a professional team of roofers certified by the manufacturer to install it like a roof. Then, its efficiency came from proper installation and distribution of energy for properties.

Solar shingles aren’t a new concept. Tesla was the first mover who implemented their own idea. They distributed solar shingles in the country and had a specialist team install them. Unfortunately, it was in this distribution system that GAF had outdone them: GAF had a network of certified and Master Elite roofers who only needed new training to install Timberline Solar Shingles properly.

GAF’s simple distribution network has helped the Timberline Solar Shingle receive overwhelming support and demand from residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Using existing roofers meant any community can have solar shingles any time. We strongly suggest installing GAF’s solar shingles rather than Tesla shingles. 

Here are more benefits from GAF Timberline Solar Shingles, according to American Home Contractors.

Benefits of Timberline Solar Roof Shingles

Using the new Timberline Solar roofing system comes with more benefits than traditional solar panels and mounting systems. 

Enhanced Curb Appeal

Instead of having unappealing panels mounted above your roof, Timberline Solar shingles blend in perfectly with the aesthetics of your home. This will enhance your home’s curb appeal while increasing its value due to the added solar energy generation.

Easy Installation

Since integrated solar roofing can be installed simultaneously with your regular roof, you won’t have to hire different contractors to install it separately. Instead of trying to find a contractor who can install solar panels and mounts, you can spend time on other home projects while we take care of the rest. The installation process itself is simple – instead of installing mounting systems, solar shingles can be nailed directly to your roof in place of regular shingles. American Home Contractors is proud to be certified as a GAF Solar Elite Contractor and a GAF Master Elite Roofing Contractor, one of only a handful in the nation. This means that we have proven ourselves as fully licensed to perform solar roofing work, insured for your protection, and committed to ongoing professional training while maintaining a solid reputation and customer satisfaction. We are highly qualified to install Timberline Solar Roof Shingles in NJ, and we will make sure the job gets done right. 

Electricity Savings

Instead of relying on utility companies to provide electricity to your home, you will be producing your own energy with your Timberline Solar shingles. Rain or shine, your solar shingles will continue to generate electricity you can use to power your home. Timberline Solar was created at a price point designed for the masses so more and more households in the United States can begin to enjoy the financial benefits of solar energy.

Increased Durability

Since the Timberline Solar roofing system uses shingles, it doesn’t have holes that could potentially damage your roof and expose it to the elements. You will never have to worry about high winds tearing your solar panels off of your roof or the snow blocking your solar roofing system from absorbing sunlight. If your Timberline Solar shingles do not live up to their quality, or if winds under 130 mph damage your shingles, GAF Energy offers 25 years of coverage to protect your investment. Also, this protection will cover you in case there are manufacturing defects that lead to leaks. (Continue reading here to learn more)
