Reasons to Own a GAF Timberline Solar Shingle Roof
GAF Timberline Solar Shingles is a world-first. It was the first to seamlessly integrate solar technology with nailable roofing materials to enable its top-notch Master Elite roofers to install the systems without any hassle. Furthermore, Timberline solar shingle roofs made it easy to own a roof that protected and reduced the cost of electricity at home.
Here are several reasons why you should own a GAF Timberline Solar Shingle roof.
Aesthetically Pleasing
Timberline solar shingle roofs are much better than solar panels because they're discreet. Homeowners associations give better approval rates to solar shingle installations than high-profile and functionality-first solar panel installations. Furthermore, you have plenty of patterns and colors to give you a roof with the look you want.
Sturdy
GAF Timberline Solar Shingles are made from top-notch material that would last for decades. Their solar cell components use industry-standard, long-lifespan parts to power your home for decades. Furthermore, Master Elite roofers can look for possible circuit, power, and installation issues during their routine maintenance.
Easy Replacement
Installation and replacement for solar shingles do not require roof section removal and panel attachment to the sheathing and rafters. You won't worry about attic leaks because roofers will nail the roof on the sheathing as they would regular asphalt shingles.
Recently, GAF has powered an entire Timberline Solar Shingle factory with their very own product to save on energy costs. Learn more about it in this post from Roofing Contractor.
GAF Energy, a Standard Industries company, has installed a 500 kilowatt solar system on the roof of the company’s research and development and manufacturing center in San Jose, Calif.
The new system will generate more than 750,000 kilowatt hours of solar energy at the 112,000 square-foot facility, which produces the company’s award-winning solar roof, Timberline Solar™ . Introduced a year ago, Timberline Solar features the world’s first nailable solar shingle and is the only roof system to directly integrate solar technology into traditional roofing processes and materials.
“We’re utilizing solar energy to produce Timberline Solar, not just because it’s the right thing to do for the planet, but also because it’s the right business decision,” said Martin DeBono, president of GAF Energy. "We believe that the future of energy is solar roofs, produced in American manufacturing facilities that are fueled by solar power. We’re putting our vision of energy from every roof into practice with our own roof here in San Jose.”
GAF Energy announced the buildout of its San Jose facility in 2021 and began assembling Timberline Solar there last year. Since its launch in January 2022, Timberline Solar has received dozens of awards, including from CES, TIME, Fast Company, Popular Science, Roofing Contractor, Green Builder, Good Housekeeping and the National Association of Home Builders. To meet growing demand, GAF Energy is significantly increasing its Timberline Solar manufacturing capacity with the construction of a second manufacturing facility located in Georgetown, Texas.
