GAF Solar Shingles FAQs

How much does a solar roof cost?

The cost will vary depending on the size of the roof, but Michigan homeowners can expect to pay between $20,000 and $50,000 for a full solar system before any federal or state incentives. At BC Exteriors, we provide a free, detailed quote that will help break down the cost.

Do GAF solar roofs have a warranty?
Every Timberline Solar® shingle is covered by the Timberline Solar® Shingle & Accessory Limited Warranty. You can speak with our GAF-certified roofers about additional warranty options available.
How do GAF solar shingles compare to traditional solar panels?
Bulky, rack-mounted solar panels do not blend well with roofs, and they drastically alter the look of your roof. They also require separate installation. GAF solar shingles blend right into your current roof for a cleaner aesthetic. They’re also more wind-resistant and easier to install on sloped roofs.
Are there any state or federal tax credits available for installing solar panels?
Yes! There are a variety of federal and state incentives that help cover some of the installation costs. Michigan also has the Distributed Generation Program that you can enroll in.
What kind of maintenance do solar shingles require?
GAF Timberline Solar® shingles are low-maintenance, similar to traditional roofing. It’s important to clear heavy snow, but these shingles are designed to withstand harsh Michigan winters. We do recommend annual maintenance checks to ensure your solar system is working properly.
