In this installment of our GAF asphalt roofing series, we’re diving into GAF’s solar shingle offering, the Energy Timberline Solar ES 2, which is a state-of-the-art shingle that performs the same functions as the much larger, bulkier solar panels we are accustomed to seeing on many homes.
In this series, we’re highlighting each and every type of GAF asphalt shingle (there are 11 in all), and so far we’ve covered:
The Energy Timberline Solar ES 2 is the world’s first nailable solar shingle, which means that there’s absolutely no drilling required, and all our installation team needs is a nail gun. Two of the greatest benefits of no-drill installation is that it minimizes roof penetration, and also minimizes the disruption of waterproofing.
In addition, these solar shingles are compatible with any GAF Timberline roofing system, which gives you a wide variety of choices regarding shingle style, color and price.
THE BENEFITS OF ENERGY TIMBERLINE SOLAR ES 2 SHINGLES INCLUDE …
THE BENEFITS OF ENERGY TIMBERLINE SOLAR ES 2 SHINGLES INCLUDE …- They’re compatible with all GAF Timberline roofing solutions, including HDZ, UHDZ, NS, and AS II.
- They generate solar energy while functioning like a traditional asphalt shingle, which means they also protect your roof from wind uplift, rain & snow.
- GAF’s best-in-class solar efficiency delivers 57 watts per energy shingle, which is a 23% improvement over GAF’s first generation solar shingle.
- They’re durable, in fact they’re so durable that you can walk on them!
- They offer an amazingly streamlined aesthetic.
- Because the Timberline Solar ES 2 is the world’s first nailable solar shingle, it gets installed by the same crew that installs your asphalt shingles. Regardless, if you are having a GAF roofing system installed, be sure the company you hire is a GAF Master Elite installer.
- They generate clean energy
WARRANTIES:
WARRANTIES:- 25-year power output warranty that matches the standard set by top-tier, rack-mounted solar panels
- 25-year product warranty against manufacturer defects that cause leaks
- 15-year wind warranty
- Warranted to withstand 130 mph winds
In addition, the Energy Timberline Solar ES 2 is also the only solar shingle product approved by Miami-Dade County. This means these solar shingles meet or exceed the High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements of the Florida Building Code standards, the strictest in the country.
Another warranty perk is that when you have Legacy Exteriors install your new roof, many of GAF’s warranties are strengthened — at no additional cost — because we are GAF Master Elite, GAF President’s Club, and GAF FORTIFIED certified installers.
