GAF Solar Roofing
Solar roofing uses solar shingles instead of traditional bulky solar panels. How does that work and is it right for you? Find out here.
Solar roofing is just one of many recent innovations in the solar industry. It provides solar energy using solar shingles instead of conventional solar panels. These solar shingles serve double purposes — they generate electricity plus replace a roof’s traditional shingles.
Advantages of solar roofing
Solar panel roofing tiles look similar to asphalt shingles, the most common type of roofing material. Their appeal really boils down to aesthetic value — they’re less bulky and have a sleeker design than roof-mounted solar panels. For some homeowners, the look of solar panels is a dealbreaker, so solar shingles is a great solution.
Are solar roofing shingles right for me?
Considerations include the roof’s age, slope, construction, and where and how much direct sunshine or shade it gets. Since solar shingles must follow the orientation of the roof, it’s important to make sure the angle will capture enough sunlight to fuel your energy needs.
If you’re already in the market to replace yours, this could be a useful way to combine two projects.
These new GAF Timberline Solar Shingles are a composite shingle product. The transition from a standard composite shingle roof to the new GAF Timberline Solar Shingle roof is seamless. It would be possible to convert tile roofs to the GAF Timberline product as well , and our consultants would advise the work needed for this on a case by case basis.
