    CONVENIENT LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE

    When it comes to solar shingles, maintenance is a crucial aspect to consider. Fortunately, maintaining Timberline Solar™ shingles is a breeze. Unlike traditional solar panels that require mounting brackets and other components, the GAF Energy Timberline Solar™ shingle has minimal components, resulting in less debris collected on your roof.

    Another advantage of the GAF Energy Timberline Solar™ shingle is that they don’t create a sheltered area underneath, preventing birds from making nests that can reduce energy yield. Traditional solar panels are ideal nesting grounds for birds and other animals, and their newfound habitat can obstruct the device’s airflow and cooling. This results in a reduction in the panel’s energy output. The GAF Energy Timberline Solar™ shingle eliminated this problem entirely, ensuring optimal energy production and minimal maintenance needs.

    YOUR BEST BET AMONGST THE SOLAR PROVIDERS

    At Lyndsey Roofing®, we believe that solar energy is the future, and we are proud to be a part of the movement toward a cleaner, greener planet. Our team will work with you every step of the way to ensure that your solar roof shingles are installed according to the GAF Timberline Solar™ shingles guidelines and the New York State Building Code.  Whether you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint, save money on energy bills, or increase the value of your home, the GAF Energy Timberline Solar™ shingles are the perfect solution.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Installing Timberline Solar™ on a roof that has obstructions like vents, chimneys, skylights, and satellite dishes may be possible. It all comes down to how much the obstructions would interfere with installation, and whether moving or eliminating the obstructions is possible and desirable.

    Timberline Solar™ cannot be installed over existing obstructions, but it can be installed near them, within a certain proximity. Other options include removing the obstructions or relocating them on the roof, depending on the type of obstruction and the homeowner’s preference. What makes Timberline Solar™ Energy Shingles (ES) uniquely appealing is their size and installation method. Unlike some solar products, which may be made up of large rigid panels with limitations in array options, Timberline Solar™ was designed to be smaller and capable of fitting individual shingles into areas on a roof that larger panels may not fit. 

    Solar power functions by capturing sunlight and converting it into energy. Therefore, if a solar power module is blocked from sunlight, it cannot function properly. That’s why many solar roofing systems – such as Timberline Solar™ – require optimal exposure to sunlight.

    If a roof is heavily shaded by a permanent obstruction like a building or thick forestation, and sunlight is blocked regardless of the position of the sun, a solar installation is not advised. This is known as “hard” or “extreme” shading. If a roof experiences light shading, mitigation efforts may be taken to allow for solar installation, depending on the severity of the shading. Examples of light shading include a single tree whose shadow moves depending on the sun’s position (known as “sweeping shade”) or whose canopy is thin enough for sunlight to perforate. Maximum energy generation cannot be achieved unless no shading is present, but the value of installing solar roofing even in the presence of shade can change from project to project, and from house to house. 

    A Timberline Solar™ roof has two shingle types that are installed together to create a complete solar roof. The Timberline Solar Energy Shingle™ (ES) and the Timberline Solar HDZ™ Shingle.

    The Timberline Solar Energy Shingle™ (ES) is the world’s first nailable solar energy shingle. It installs as readily and easily as standard roofing shingles, providing protection from the elements while generating solar energy for use within the home. It boasts an industry-defying depth of less than a quarter inch. The ES integrates with compatible traditional non-energy generating shingles (Timberline Solar HDZ™ Shingle) to create a sleek and attractive look.

    This approach means homeowners do not sacrifice the integrity or aesthetics of the roof to go solar.

    No, Timberline Solar™ is a roof system that directly integrates solar technology into traditional lighter-weight roofing materials and processes. This new system incorporates something new: a nailable solar shingle, that we call the Timberline Solar Energy Shingle™ (ES). The ES is assembled domestically at GAF Energy’s manufacturing and R&D facility in San Jose, California.

    Timberline Solar™ is the only roof system to directly integrate solar technology into traditional roofing processes and materials. It’s not just solar placed on top of a roof, it is an integrated roofing system that produces energy and keeps your home protected from the elements.

    This new system incorporates the world’s first nailable solar shingle, the Timberline Solar Energy Shingle™ (ES), which is assembled domestically at GAF Energy’s manufacturing and R&D facility in San Jose, California. This creates American jobs and delivers a revolutionary product with the potential to drive a significant shift in residential clean energy adoption.

    AC-coupled batteries like the Tesla Powerwall or Sonnen Eco are designed to be added to existing solar installations at any time. Other energy storage systems may require unique equipment for existing solar installations.

    All options and features for energy storage are site dependent and unique to the particular energy storage system. Please verify with a licensed energy storage contractor in advance that the specifications are right for the installed solar components and the desired operation modes (backup, self-consumption, time-of-use load shifting, etc.).

    Your solar roof installation

    The first step of your solar and new roof installation begins with receiving a pallet or two of materials at your home. These will be delivered within a few days of when your roof replacement project is set to begin. They will be left in a convenient spot for you and your roofer. Your GAF-certified roofers will also deliver a debris bin during this time to ensure proper removal of your old roof and anything accumulated during your new roof installation.

    During your new roof installation, your roof will be removed and your shingles and solar will be installed at the same time providing you with a singular roof and solar system. Timberline Solar™ is our latest product offering is a solar shingle roofing system with a nailable energy shingle. DecoTech is “direct-to-deck” meaning your solar panels install similar to a skylight. Both products prevent any puncturing of your shingles or roof for a fully protected roof that also generates power.

    After installation, an electrician partnered with your roofer will connect your system. From there all you need to do is wait for your solar net metering permits to be issued. Then, activate your system and you could start saving money on your electrical bill.

     

    Battery storage allows homeowners to store some of the solar energy they’re producing in a backup battery, which can then be used as a limited power source at night or during power outages. We don’t offer a battery storage, but your GAF Energy solar system is compatible with many battery options on the market. If you are interested in purchasing a backup battery for your solar system, speak with a licensed energy storage contractor to have it installed.

    It’s important to note that even with a battery, your solar system is still connected to the utility grid. When you produce more energy than you use, you’ll benefit from net metering which credits you for any excess energy you produce and send to the grid.

    Complete solar system for your home

    When you choose a GAF Energy roof-integrated complete home solar system, you are choosing more than just clean, renewable energy for your home. You’re choosing a waterproof solar roof solution that will help pay for itself over time by saving you money on your electric bill.

    The GAF Energy solar system is designed to require little to no maintenance. Seasonal rains should help keep the solar panels clean of dirt and debris, but if not, homeowners can either gently rinse their panels (only when they’re cool) or opt to occasionally pay for a professional cleaning service. aside from the occasional, optional washing of the solar panels.

    Our mission at GAF Energy is to make energy from every new roof possible, which means making going solar easy. Our product is easy to install by GAF-certified roofers, easy to maintain and backed by an industry-leading warranty for peace of mind.

    You can’t go wrong investing in a low-maintenance, GAF Energy solar system with your new roof. Sleek, waterproof and easy to care for, our direct-to-deck system was designed and built with you and your roof in mind. The GAF Energy solar system could save you money for decades to come without any hassles.

    How to care for your new solar roof

    Solar panels need to be clean to make the most amount of power, so that means keeping them free of dust or other debris. Since they’re made of glass, snow usually melts off once the sun comes out, but if not you may want to brush it off with a soft-bristled extended brush.

    If the panels get dusty and the rain doesn’t clean them off, you can spray them with a hose (only when they’re cool) or hire a local cleaning service. This will help you maximize your electric bill savings.

    Your solar panels can generate energy anytime the sun is shining all year round. If you notice any decrease in energy production while checking your smartphone monitoring app, it might mean they just need a cleaning.

    Yes. Your roof is potentially valuable real estate for installing a home solar system. Going solar with GAF Energy means you’ll likely use less energy from the grid, resulting in a lower electric bill.

    With GAF Energy you get a new solar roof that will keep your home dry and safe while producing power that could save you money for decades to come. Our goal, to create energy from every new roof, inspired us to design an easy -to-install product that will ensure the process of getting a new solar roof goes smoothly.

    If you need a new roof, why not add solar at the same time? Our direct-to-deck solar roofing system means that you get a low profile seamless waterproof product that will help pay for itself over time.

    How you can save money with a solar roof installation

    Your new solar system uses an inverter that converts the DC energy your solar panels make into AC energy for your home. If you’re using solar to power your home and not electricity from the grid, this 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.

    This all means that your new solar system could save you money, allowing it to pay for itself over time.

    Being grid-connected provides you with the security of a consistent power source while potentially lowering your expenses. Installed by the top roofing company and backed by an industry-leading warranty for your roof, panels and electronics, this is an investment that makes sense. Become more energy independent by installing a GAF Energy solar roof.

     

    You’ll still receive a monthly statement from your utility. Depending upon the size of your solar system, your family’s energy usage, how much solar energy you generate monthly and local net metering rules, that bill could show a credit or a small amount due.

    Our solar and roofing pros will help you decide whether going solar makes economic sense for you.

    Are solar panels worth the investment?

    With a net-metering agreement, surplus energy generated by your solar system is fed back into the power grid. A surplus results when you generate more solar energy than you use within a given timeframe (i.e. your monthly billing cycle).

    The value of this energy, governed by your local net metering policies, is typically treated as a credit to your bill, and can be managed in several ways. Depending on the state, the value may roll over month-to-month. In other areas, that amount may be credited quarterly or annually.
    If you’re wondering if installing solar is worth it, contact us today. A GAF Energy consultant can work with you to help you understand your local utility net metering rules and regulations. Let us make going solar easy for you so you can start saving money now.

    Not exactly. While your roof-integrated solar system may generate excess energy sent to the grid under net metering rules, you are compensated for this via a credit, not a cash payment. This is how your new solar roof could save you money and pay for itself over time.

    You also may use these credits when you need to draw energy from the grid, such as at night or during times of year you’re generating less solar energy.

    Depending on your local net metering rules, these credits may roll over monthly or get distributed quarterly or annually.

    When you factor in the benefits of net metering with government incentives that help pay for solar, you could definitely end up saving money over the coming decades.

    Save money by installing solar with a new roof

    Solar panels can generate energy any time of year, as long as the sun is shining to help save you money. When you generate more energy than you use during the summer, you’ll receive net metering credits to use during the winter, to help keep your electric bills lower all year long.

    Homeowners with solar enjoy checking their smartphone app to see how much energy they’re making on their roof.

    The panels don’t have any moving parts, so the only required maintenance is keeping them clean so they can produce plenty of energy and save you money.

    If you’re in need of a new roof, give us a call today to see a solar roof is right for your home. Why worry about managing two home improvement projects at the same time? Get solar with a new GAF roof.

    Power outages with solar power systems

    Your grid-tied solar system will automatically shut off for safety during a power outage. This ensures that anyone working on your local power lines is protected from any harm. Once the outage is over, your system will be ready to operate.

    Although GAF Energy does not sell solar storage batteries, your system is compatible with many battery options on the market.

    Our goal is to make going solar with your new roof an easy and accessible choice because we believe energy from every roof is possible. An elegant, waterproof roof that could pay for itself over time is an investment worth making. With an industry-leading warranty and installed by the best in the business, a solar roof couldn’t be more attractive. Contact us today to see if a new roof with solar is right for you.

    For the vast majority of people, it would not be cost-effective to try to go completely off-grid with a solar system. Unless you’re living in a remote area where electricity is unavailable, unreliable or extremely expensive, you’re better off being connected to the conventional utility grid. That’s because you’ll need to access energy from the grid when the sun isn’t shining. But thanks to net metering, any excess energy your system produces on sunny days will earn you credits that can be applied anytime you’re using grid power.

    However, if you want backup power for limited uses, the GAF Energy system can be connected to a solar storage battery. You’ll need to purchase the battery and any other required components separately and will be responsible for the installation and maintenance of your solar storage battery.

    An alternative to off-grid solar systems

    Designed to be an easy to install product for GAF-certified roofers, your new solar system will have a sleek, low profile and be integrated into your roof’s waterproofing barrier. From consultation to installation and electrical hookup, we and our contractors will be there to make sure your solar roof is done right.

    Once installed, your solar investment will help you save money for decades to come. Watch your system create clean energy right from your smartphone solar energy monitoring app. Let’s make solar energy from every roof possible with your new solar roof installation today.

     

    Battery storage allows homeowners to store some of the solar energy they’re producing in a backup battery, which can then be used as a limited power source at night or during power outages. We don’t offer a battery storage, but your GAF Energy solar system is compatible with many battery options on the market. If you are interested in purchasing a backup battery for your solar system, speak with a licensed energy storage contractor to have it installed.

    It’s important to note that even with a battery, your solar system is still connected to the utility grid. When you produce more energy than you use, you’ll benefit from net metering which credits you for any excess energy you produce and send to the grid.
