The Timberline Solar Energy Shingle (ES) has been shown off by GAF Energy at CES 2022 as a residential solar energy solution that would work to drastically change how the advanced equipment is installed and more.
The solar panel shingles are touted to be the world's first that can be nailed down without the need for a complicated installation to maximize how or where they can be installed. The panels have a depth of less than a quarter-inch to make them a discreet addition onto a roof.
The Timberline Solar Energy Shingle (ES) is constructed with a water-shedding profile that is strong and capable of resisting wind speeds up to 130mph, and can be installed just like conventional shingles.
