GAF Solar Roofing: A Smarter Choice for Your Home

Affordable Solar Roofing for Minnesota and Wisconsin Homeowners

Solar roofing has traditionally been seen as expensive, with long payback periods. In states like Minnesota and Wisconsin, many homeowners avoided it due to high costs and uncertainty about energy savings. However, a GAF energy solar roof offers an affordable and reliable way to embrace renewable energy.

Save Big with a 30% New Roof Tax Credit

One of the biggest benefits of a GAF solar roof is the 30% federal tax credit. This credit doesn’t just apply to the solar shingles—it covers the entire roof.

In the past, traditional solar panels only qualified for the tax credit on the panels themselves. GAF solar roofing provides more value, making it a better investment for homeowners.

Stylish and Seamless Solar Roof Design

A GAF solar shingle is designed to blend with the rest of your roof. While the solar shingles come in one color, the surrounding roof shingles can be customized to match your style. This gives your home a cohesive and polished appearance.

Comprehensive 25-Year Warranty

Unlike traditional solar panels, which often come with separate warranties for different parts, GAF solar roofs are covered by a single 25-year warranty. This warranty covers the entire roof, including the solar shingles.

Every five years, GAF conducts a check-in to ensure the roof is performing as promised. If your system isn’t generating the predicted amount of energy, GAF will add more solar shingles to meet the output you were promised.

Built to Last

Class 4 Impact-Resistant Shingles

Durability is a top priority with GAF solar roofing. Alongside the solar shingles, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are installed to create a strong, long-lasting roof. These shingles can withstand harsh weather, including hail and heavy rain.

Environmental Benefits

A GAF solar roof helps reduce waste, keeping shingles out of landfills. Its durability means fewer roof replacements over time, contributing to a more sustainable environment.

Insurance Discounts

Many insurance companies also offer discounts for homeowners who install Class 4 shingles, providing another way to save money.

Best Placement for Solar Shingles

To maximize energy production, solar shingles are best placed on west- or south-facing slopes. These areas receive the most sunlight throughout the day. Shaded areas should be avoided, as they can reduce energy output.

Performance in the Winter

Even with snow on the roof, solar shingles can generate electricity, though the output may be lower. GAF factors average snowfall into energy predictions to give you accurate estimates.
