GAF Energy is building a second factory, this one in Texas, to manufacture its Solar Roof shingles for customers in North America.
it is building a second 450,000 square foot factory in Georgetown, Texas, to manufacture its Timberline Solar Roof products. The new factory will increase its capacity by 500% and bring total production of its solar shingles to 300 megawatts annually. That in turn will make GAF Energy the largest producer of solar roofing in the world.
Timberline Solar shingles are reliable, durable, cost effective, easy to install, and aesthetically superior. The shingles are less than a quarter inch thick and integrate with traditional shingles to create a sleek and attractive look. “A number of companies have come out with what they call solar shingles, but they’re pretty much identical to regular solar panels, just small,” explains DeBono.
The solar roof shingles cost less than a new roof and a separate rooftop solar system. Using his own home as an example, DeBono says a new roof with a 6 kW rooftop solar system would cost about $44,000 after all available incentives. By comparison, a new roof using GAF solar shingles with the same 6 kW capacity would have a net cost of $30,000 — a saving of $14,000.
