GAF Energy’s Timberline Solar™ Named “Best Solar Shingle” by CNET
World’s First Nailable Solar Shingle Lauded for its “Excellent Warranties and Efficiency Rating”
San Jose, CA Jan. 24, 2024 – GAF Energy’s Timberline Solar™ Energy Shingle, the world’s first nailable solar shingle, has been named by CNET as the “Best Solar Shingle”. GAF Energy, a Standard Industries company and the leading provider of solar roofing in North America, introduced Timberline Solar™ in 2022. Timberline Solar™, the only system to directly integrate solar technology into traditional roofing processes and materials, is assembled domestically at GAF Energy’s U.S. manufacturing and R&D facility in California and its manufacturing facility in Texas.
From CNET:
Timberline Solar by GAF Energy takes the top spot with its excellent warranties and efficiency ratings. GAF Energy offers three limited warranties with its solar roof: a 25-year product warranty against leaks and manufacturer defects, a 15-year wind warranty and 25-year power output warranty. The power output warranty guarantees that your solar roof’s performance won’t dip any lower than 98% after one year and won’t decrease by any more than 0.55% per year for the next 24 years. These shingles come with the highest efficiency we’ve found (23%) and a solid wind rating of 130 mph.
The Timberline Solar™ Energy Shingle (ES) boasts an industry-defying depth of less than a quarter inch and integrates with traditional shingles to create a sleek and attractive look. It was the first product to have achieved UL’s 7103 certification, which certifies that GAF Energy’s product meets UL’s rigorous electrical, building, and safety standards as a roofing product and a solar energy product. GAF Energy recently completed construction of their new 450,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Georgetown, Texas, to meet growing demand for the Timberline Solar™. The Georgetown manufacturing facility will increase the company’s capacity by 500% and bring total production of its solar shingle to 300 megawatts annually, making GAF Energy the largest producer of solar roofing in the world.
