This roof is designed to be operated in connection with the grid, and is compatible with various energy storage offerings on the market. AC-coupled batteries are designed to be added to existing solar installations at any time. Other energy storage systems may require unique equipment for existing solar installations. All options and features for energy storage are site dependent and unique to the particular energy storage system. It is recommended you verify with a licensed energy storage contractor in advance that the specifications are right for the installed solar components and the desired operation modes (backup, self-consumption, time-of-use load shifting, etc.).

This is the first true solar roof. It incorporates solar technology into traditional roofing materials and processes and uses the world’s first nailable solar shingle, which lays direct to deck, providing durability and protection that looks great. With constant utility rate inflation, Timberline Solar™ was designed to be an affordable solar roofing option. If you’re using solar to power your home in lieu of electricity from the grid, your energy prices may be lower. This means that your Timberline Solar™ roof could save you money, allowing those savings to offset the cost of your new roof over time. And with solar roofing becoming more popular, chances are it will benefit your home resale value.

Timberline Solar™ is warrantied for various weather conditions, including rain, snow, and wind. The system is designed to require little to no maintenance. Rain should keep the solar shingles clean of dirt and debris. If you notice your panels are dirty, you can always rinse the panels (only when they are cool).

Due to the unique design of Timberline Solar™ as a complete roofing system, efficiency cannot be calculated in the same way as a traditional solar panel. The Energy Shingle (ES) is made out of the same high-efficiency mono PERC cell technology found in Tier 1 solar panels. Depending on a home’s specific roof geometry, Timberline Solar™ may fit more kW per roof than traditional solar panels.

Timberline Solar™ is the first true solar roof on the market. This is the world’s first nailable solar shingle, which roofers can install as easily as regular roofing shingles, with only a nail gun. The benefit of this roof-integrated solar system is its seamless, waterproof installation that mimics traditional shingle installation. Rack-mounted panels or tiles require specialized installation skills and structures that can require a ballast and can puncture your existing roof with lag bolts. This could disrupt the waterproofing of your roof, possibly degrading your roof quicker. Plus, the smaller form factor of the Timberline Solar™ Energy Shingle, as compared to a solar panel, allows for installation on more complex roof shapes such as dormers or hipped roofs.

Pricing varies based on various factors, including the size and slope of the roof, obstructions around the home, and how much sunlight reaches the roof on a typical day. A Timberline Solar™ roof is designed to be affordable and is typically comparable to a new roof plus traditional rack-mounted solar. Timberline Solar™ is readily available for residential installation and may be available for commercial buildings in the future.

We encourage all homeowners to consult their tax advisors on all available solar tax incentives.
