Three years after launching its first studable solar tile to the market, GAF Energy today launched its second-generation Timberline Solar product.

The Timberline Solar ES 2 provides 23% more electricity than its predecessor -57 W per tile.

The Timberline Solar ES 2 represents everything we have learned about solar roofs and has been further refined through extensive feedback from contractors and homeowners. This is an innovation that provides a more powerful, easier to install, and versatile solar tile than ever before GAF Energy President Martin DeBono said.

In addition to higher power output, the Timberline Solar ES 2 has also improved its appearance through a smaller conversion box and simplified wiring. It has a depth of less than 1/4 inch and is compatible with the complete GAF Timberline tile series.

The product is assembled at GAF Energy's manufacturing plants located in Texas and California.
