Key improvements to the Timberline Solar ES 2, which builds on the original product launched in 2022, include:
- Increased Power Output: Each shingle now delivers 57 watts, marking a 23% enhancement in energy generation.
- Larger Surface Area: The shingle’s design provides more area than traditional asphalt shingles, allowing for faster installation.
- Enhanced StrikeZone: This feature improves installation efficiency and ease of use.
- Compatibility: The ES 2 integrates seamlessly with the entire GAF Timberline shingle collection.
- Refined Aesthetics: Smaller transition boxes and simplified wiring contribute to a more streamlined appearance.
Martin DeBono, President of GAF Energy, stated, “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.”
With a depth of less than a quarter inch, the Timberline Solar ES 2 integrates smoothly with traditional GAF shingles, providing a sleek look. GAF Energy assures that the product meets rigorous third-party safety standards for both roofing and solar applications. The Timberline Solar ES 2 is developed and assembled at GAF Energy’s facilities in Georgetown, Texas, and San Jose, California.
