Why Are Solar Shingles Superior to Solar Panels & Traditional Roofing Systems?
Sleek Appearance
Traditional solar panels are bulky, unattractive eyesores that are just unsightly enough to steer style-conscious homeowners away.
GAF Energy Timberline Solar offers the perfect solution. These solar shingles are installed flush to the roof (as opposed to 6–10 inches above) to provide an aesthetically-pleasing alternative to traditional solar panels. Plus, GAF Energy Timberline roofing shingles without solar capabilities are designed to match the size, shape, and color of solar shingles for a seamless appearance.
Durable Performance
Rack-mounted solar panels require dozens of penetrations through the roof for the solar panel footings to be attached—creating vulnerabilities and opportunities for moisture damage. Plus, after panels are installed, they make a perfect hiding place for rodents, pests, and debris.
GAF Energy Timberline Solar guarantees a waterproof roofing system for 25 years, and since the solar system is flush with your roofing shingles, you won’t have to worry about pest damage. Solar shingles are built to withstand harsh weather conditions like hail, wind, and heavy rain. They function as both a roofing material and an energy source, eliminating the need for separate solar panel installations.
Affordable Price
GAF Energy Timberline Solar installation costs about the same as a complete roof replacement or solar panel installation. Christian Brothers Roofing offers financing plans that can nearly match the current monthly payment on your electric bill. GAF Energy Timberline Solar also has a great return on investment—most homeowners make their money back in 6–10 years. Plus, with a 25-year power output warranty, you’re guaranteed to earn back your investment (and save even more!) throughout your solar roof’s lifespan.
Eco-Friendly Energy Solution
By generating electricity from the sun, solar shingles significantly reduce reliance on fossil fuels, helping to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. Unlike traditional energy sources that rely on coal, oil, or natural gas, solar energy is clean, renewable, and sustainable, making it a smarter long-term solution for homeowners who want to lessen their environmental impact. Additionally, by producing your own electricity, you help reduce the strain on power grids, lowering the demand for non-renewable energy and supporting a more resilient and eco-friendly energy infrastructure. With solar shingles, homeowners can take an active role in promoting sustainability while also enjoying the financial and practical benefits of solar power.

Solar Shingle Installation FAQs
Still have questions about GAF Energy Timberline Solar? No problem! These are some of the common questions we receive about these cutting-edge solar shingles:
What types of warranties and tax credits are provided?
When you install GAF Energy Timberline Solar with Christian Brothers Roofing, you will receive a 30% federal tax credit on solar components, a 25-year SolarMax® Technology Warranty for power output, and a 25-year Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty for performance, workmanship, and waterproofing.
How long does solar shingle installation take?
Solar shingle installation takes about the same amount of time it would take to install a composition shingle roofing system, so on average, two to three days. During your project, we touch base regularly, so you won’t be left wondering about the progress on your solar roof.
Plus, we won’t leave your home, driveway, and backyard in disarray. We tidy up at the end of each day, and when the project is complete, we thoroughly clean up our mess to ensure your property is left sparkling clean!
Can I install solar shingles without replacing my roof?
If you’d like to install GAF Energy Timberline Solar, you’ll need to replace your entire roofing system.
Unlike solar panels, which can be installed on top of your roofing system, solar shingles are flush with your roofing system, so they must be installed with coordinating roofing shingles engineered for the solar system by GAF Energy.
Do I have to hire an electrician to hook up the solar system?
Christian Brothers Roofing is your “one-stop shop” for the installation of GAF Energy Timberline Solar. We take care of the system design, permitting, solar roof installation, and electrification, so you won’t have to hire anyone else for your solar shingle installation!
