GAF Energy has launched an upgraded version of its Timberline Solar nailable shingle, the ES 2, which delivers 23% more power per shingle.

GAF Energy says key improvements to the Timberline Solar nailable shingle, which was first launched in 2022, include:

• 57 watts of power per shingle, a 23% increase in energy generation
• More area than a traditional asphalt shingle, enabling superior installation speed
• Enhanced StrikeZone for improved installation efficiency
• Compatibility with the complete GAF Timberline shingle collection
• Refined aesthetics with smaller transition boxes and simplified wiring

Martin DeBono, president of GAF Energy, said, “Timberline Solar ES 2 represents everything we’ve learned about solar roofing, enhanced by extensive feedback from contractors and homeowners. It’s an innovation that delivers a solar shingle that is more powerful, even easier to install, and more versatile than ever before.”

The Timberline Solar ES 2 boasts a depth of less than a quarter inch and integrates with traditional GAF shingles to create a sleek look. GAF Energy says Timberline Solar meets a host of rigorous third-party safety standards covering both roofing and solar. The product is developed and assembled at the company’s Georgetown, Texas, and San Jose, California, factories.
