Discover what solar shingles can do for your home

It’s not just solar placed on top of a roof, it is part of an integrated roofing system that produces energy and keeps your home protected from the elements.
One roof, one installation, one warranty
A Timberline Solar® Roof System is installed by the same contractor that is certified by GAF1, using the same crew, tools, and expertise. It’s backed by the same comprehensive warranty, covering the roof and solar components.

Energy from every roof, one home at a time
The roof and the solar shingles look great, and I love that it's one seamless system. After factoring in the tax refund, reduction in my power bills, and selling the SRECs, replacing my aging roof with solar shingles rather than traditional shingles was definitely worth it.Scott R. June 2025
I have a great roof that protects us from the rain, looks better than my old roof, and generates energy. And economically, it worked out better than going with two separate companies. I like the idea that if anything goes wrong, I only have to make one phone call, whether for the roof or the solar.Eli W. Los Altos Hills, California
The solar roof economics are nice, but it’s also just a good thing to do. Timberline Solar looks like a roof, versus having big things mounted on top of the roof. And, to have good, local people installing it just seems to make sense.Frank K. Mars, Pennsylvania

While both solar shingles and panels generate clean energy, Timberline Solar® shingles offer a sleeker, low-profile aesthetic and integrate directly into your roof system for protection. Unlike traditional rack-mounted panels, which require drilling that can increase wind uplift and potentially void warranties, Timberline Solar® shingles are installed with a nail gun, minimizing roof penetrations and disruption to waterproofing. Their smaller size also allows for installation on more complex roof shapes like dormers or hipped roofs.

The Timberline Solar® roofing system is designed to require little to no maintenance. Seasonal rains should help keep the solar shingles clean of dirt and debris, but if not, homeowners can gently rinse their shingles (only when they’re cool). Timberline Solar® provides excellent, durable protection from leaks, the elements, and weather-related issues while generating reliable, clean energy for the home.
