GAF Energy, a Standard Industries company and the leading provider of solar roofing in North America, announced the availability of its innovative Timberline Solar Roof to residents of South Carolina.
Timberline Solar is the only system that incorporates solar technology directly into traditional roofing processes and materials.
The Timberline Solar ES Energy Shingle, the world’s first nailable solar shingle, is used in this new system and is manufactured in the United States at GAF Energy’s manufacturing and R&D facility.
“We are excited to introduce our Timberline Solar roof in South Carolina. Residents of South Carolina now have access to the award-winning solar roof – and a roof that pays for itself over time “said Jason Barrett, GAF Energy’s Senior Vice President of Sales.
“Solar roofs are the future of clean energy, and Timberline Solar is unrivaled in terms of dependability, durability, cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and aesthetically superiority. We are thrilled to be bringing the next generation of clean energy adoption to South Carolina.”
Timberline Solar has an industry-leading depth of less than a quarter-inch and blends in with traditional shingles to create a sleek and appealing appearance.
It is the first product to receive UL 7103 certification, allowing GAF Energy to install the system on residential roofs as both a roofing and a solar energy product — the first of its kind to be recognized as both.
GAF Energy also collaborated with Sandia National Laboratories, a U.S. Department of Energy research and development lab, to test the product’s strength and durability.
