Solar roof costs, incentives, and savings: FAQs

GAF Energy encourages roofers and homeowners to consult with their local utility incentive programs and tax advisors, as needed, on available residential solar incentives as they vary from state to state.

The cost of Timberline Solar^® is comparable to the cost of buying a new roof plus installing traditional solar panels. As a whole-roof solution, Timberline Solar^® reduces unforeseen costs by streamlining installation into a one-stop solution.

Going solar with GAF Energy could potentially save you money since you’ll likely use less energy from the grid, which lowers your electric bill.

And, since you’ll sometimes produce more energy than you need, such as during the summer, that excess energy is then delivered to the grid. Depending upon your local net metering policies, your local utility will credit you for any excess electricity that goes to the grid. This will also help reduce your monthly electric bill.

While many homeowners can attest to lower electrical bills and savings after installing solar, GAF Energy does not guaranty or promise any level of savings.

At GAF Energy, we believe the best time to go solar is when you're replacing your roof. Since you're replacing your roof anyway, it's better to go solar with one project rather than two projects. Going solar becomes an investment with returns over time that also increases your home's curb appeal.

Going solar can seem like a complicated process. Choosing between Timberline Solar^® shingles or traditional solar panels, designing the system, and financing everything can feel overwhelming. This is why GAF Energy is committed to making solar easier for everyone.
