What is a Timberline Solar® roof system?

We took the most trusted shingle in North America and made it solar-savvy. Unlike traditional solar, which sits above the shingle, the Timberline Solar® ES 2 is the world’s first nailable solar shingle. Paired with GAF Energy® Services, we provide long-term peace of mind for homeowners, home builders, and contractors alike.

Is solar right for me?

Generating clean energy with a Timberline Solar® roofing system is best for those planning to install a new roof. That’s because Timberline Solar® integrates with any Timberline® asphalt shingle, making it a smart alternative to rack-mounted solar panels installed on existing shingles that can compromise roof aesthetics, durability, and existing warranties.
