What is Timberline Solar?
Timberline Solar stands out as the sole roof system that seamlessly incorporates solar technology into conventional roofing methods and materials. Unlike other solar alternatives that are simply placed on top of the roof, Timberline Solar is ingeniously integrated into the very fabric of the roof. Its solar shingles work harmoniously alongside the asphalt shingles, resulting in a dual system that not only generates energy but also provides exceptional protection against the elements for your home.
What is the cost of Timberline Solar?
The pricing of a Timberline Solar roof can vary depending on several factors, such as the size and slope of the customer’s roof and the amount of shade around their home. However, our goal is to make our solar roof affordable for everyone, and it is generally comparable in cost to getting a new roof along with traditional rack-mounted solar panels. We strongly believe that affordability is crucial in enabling every roof to generate energy effectively.
How does the presence of shade around a residence impact the installation process of Timberline Solar?
Solar cells work by capturing sunlight and converting it into electricity. Consequently, if a solar panel is obstructed from the sun, it will not perform efficiently. This is the reason why most solar roofing systems, like the Timberline Solar™ roof, necessitate maximum exposure to sunlight. In the event that your roof experiences minor shading, solar energy may still be generated, depending on the degree of shade. Naturally, the best energy generation is achieved in the absence of shade, but a small amount may be tolerable. The remarkable aspect of Timberline Solar™ is that it is composed of individual shingles that can be strategically placed in sunny areas of the roof.
Is it possible to install Timberline Solar around various objects on a roof, including vents, chimneys, skylights, and satellite dishes?
Installing Timberline Solar™ on a roof that has obstructions is typically feasible. The feasibility of installation varies based on the level of interference caused by the obstructions and the homeowner’s willingness to relocate or remove objects obstructing the installation process. Timberline Solar™ cannot be mounted directly on top of existing obstructions; however, it can be placed in close proximity to them. What sets the Timberline Solar ES™ apart is its size and installation approach, which contribute to its unique appeal. Unlike larger inflexible solar panels that offer limited layout options, the ES™ can be easily accommodated in smaller sections of a roof.
