• GAF is delivering an all new solar roofing product. This solar roofing system turns the traditional system on its head.
• GAF’s new DecoTech system fastens full-sized solar panels directly to the roof deck, and its panels are designed to act as shingles to shed water.
• It is important to understand that the GAF Solar solution is only compatible with GAF asphalt shingle roofs and should always be installed by a GAF Solar Elite Contractor to ensure full warranty coverage. That being said, it is a very exciting time in the solar roofing market!
• In a recent article, published in Solar Power World, editor in chief, Kelly Pickerel talked with Amy Ochsenreiter, renewable energy product manager at GAF, about the new DecoTech “roof-integrated” solar roofing system and found out why the industry needs this BIPV/traditional solar hybrid.

“We view DecoTech as an upgrade from traditional solar systems, as its simple installation process protects the integrity of the roof and saves time and cost for the contractor and homeowner.” She continued, “With more than 130 years of roofing expertise and several patents on solar products, GAF has an unmatched reputation in the industry. We built on our legacy in roofing and solar to develop a product with superior value, quality and aesthetic appeal. We’re proud to offer a durable, innovative residential solar roofing product.”
