The world’s first nailable solar shingle

We take Timberline®, the most trusted shingle brand in North America, and make it solar-savvy. Timberline Solar® ES 2 energy shingles install directly onto the roof alongside Timberline® traditional asphalt shingles to create a fully integrated solar-power roof system. Our best-in-class solar efficiency enables 57 watts per energy shingle - a 23% improvement over our first generation solar shingle.

The future of solar is here

The Timberline Solar® roofing system generates clean solar energy without the need for bulky solar panels in racks that are drilled to the roof. The best time to explore solar roofing is when you’re planning a new roof.

Power and performance

The Timberline Solar® ES 2 energy shingle generates solar energy while it functions like a traditional asphalt shingle. That means it also protects the roof from rain, snow, and wind uplift.

A solar roofing system compatible with GAF Timberline® shingles

The Timberline Solar® ES 2 energy shingle is completely compatible with all other GAF Timberline® shingles, our best-selling asphalt shingle brand. Check our Timberline HDZ® shingles to learn more.

Timberline Solar® FAQ

The Timberline Solar® roofing system is the only solar roof that directly integrates 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 2), which is assembled domestically at GAF Energy’s manufacturing facility in Georgetown, Texas and R&D facility in San Jose, California.
The GAF Energy solar roof was designed as a grid-tied net metering system. The solar shingles absorb energy from the sun and converts it from DC energy to AC energy to be used in your home's electronics. You reduce your energy consumption from the grid and this can help lower your energy bill.
While Timberline Solar® roof installation costs may vary due to the size and slope of the roof, shade around the home, and how much sunlight reaches the roof throughout an average day, they are designed to be affordable.

Oftentimes, a Timberline Solar® roof is comparable in pricing to a new roof plus the addition of rack-mounted solar panels. While Timberline Solar® roofs are only available for residential installation, commercial installation may be available in the future.
Yes, there are a variety of state and federal tax credits and incentives that help make it more financially attractive for homeowners to choose a GAF Energy solar roof. However, they vary and depend on the state. Please consult with your tax advisor to determine if there are any solar tax incentives you can take advantage of.
Purchasing a GAF Energy solar roof option is a large investment for your home, but you can rest easy knowing your roof is covered. Every Timberline Solar® shingle is covered by the Timberline Solar® Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty. However, you can speak with your GAF-certified roofer about additional warranty options available.
