Why Choose GAF Timberline Solar® Shingles for Your Michigan Home?
Finding the right solar roof requires a lot of consideration. Durability, cost, features, benefits, aesthetics – there’s a lot to think about. The GAF Timberline Solar® Shingles stand out in every way:
Seamless Aesthetics
- Integrated Design: Timberline Solar® ES 2 solar shingles are the first nailable solar shingles on the market. They look and install just like our premium GAF Timberline® asphalt shingles, which creates a more uniform, sleek look.
- No Bulky Panels: Many homeowners are put off by the bulky, industrial look of most solar panels, but these solar shingles are minimalistic and stylish and blend well with the style of most Michigan homes.
Powerful Performance
- High-Efficiency: Each solar shingle generates 57 watts of power, which is a 23% boost over the GAF first-generation shingle. One square foot can hold about 30 shingles, which provides up to 1.7kW of output.
- Weather-Resistant: Michigan is famous for its winters of heavy snowfall and low temperatures. This solar shingle is rated for wind speeds up to ASTM D3162 Class F, Class 4 impact resistant, and Class A fire resistant. This shingle is designed to withstand Michigan weather conditions.
- Easy Installation: This first-ever nailable solar shingle is best suited for roofs with a pitch of 2:12 or more. Our GAF-certified roof installers guarantee a worry-free installation that will blend seamlessly with your existing or new Timberline® roof.
Environmental & Financial Benefits
- Clean Energy: Solar energy means that you’re reducing your dependency on Michigan’s grid.
- Incentives for Michigan Homeowners: You can take advantage of the federal investment tax credit (ITC), which covers 30% of solar shingle installation costs (as of 2025). Michigan also offers additional rebates through programs, like the Distributed Generation Program that replaced net metering in 2021.
