What are GAF Solar Shingles?

GAF Timberline Solar® is an innovative roofing system that combines advanced solar technology with traditional asphalt shingles—creating a roof that both protects your home and produces electricity.

Unlike traditional solar panels that are mounted on top of your roof, solar shingles are integrated directly into the roofing system, delivering a cleaner appearance and a more streamlined installation process.

How Solar Shingle Roofing Works

Solar shingles convert sunlight into usable electricity for your home:

Sunlight Hits The Solar Shingles

Energy Is Converted Into Electricity
