    CNET Names GAF Solar Energy Shingle as ‘Best Solar Shingle’

    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, 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 percent after one year and won’t decrease by any more than 0.55 percent per year for the next 24 years. These shingles come with the highest efficiency we’ve found (23 percent) 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 percent and bring total production of its solar shingle to 300 megawatts annually, making GAF Energy the largest producer of solar roofing in the world.
