R E Roofing to Offer Innovative Solar Roof Systems from GAF Energy

Solar roof massachusetts GAF Energy
August 4, 2020

SAN JOSE, Calif. — R E Roofing in Santa Clara county is the first roofing company in the San Jose area to offer roof-integrated solar for homeowners from GAF Energy. R E customers can now install a solar roof and decrease their reliance on utility power.

Solar systems are well-known to generate energy and help reduce monthly electric bills. With a GAF Energy solar roof installed by R E, area residents can go solar and take advantage of industry-leading roofing expertise plus a warranty backed by one of North America’s largest roofing manufacturers.

“Our customers consistently ask us about solar when replacing their roofs. With GAF Energy’s solar roof product, there’s now a solar roofing system that we’re confident in offering to our customers — it’s a tremendous product,” said Miles Proctor of R E Roofing. “A solar roof can help pay for an entirely new roof over time by helping reduce homeowners’ monthly electric bills; it’s a choice that makes good economic sense for many customers.” 

Through GAF Energy, customers gain access to full virtual sales, design and support when considering a new solar roof system. The new virtual services will allow roofers to maintain sales and essential services while observing expert health guidelines for social distancing during the COVID-19 crisis. 

“It makes perfect sense to go solar when you’re replacing your roof,” said Keally DeWitt, vice president at GAF Energy. “Homeowner demand is on the rise for clean energy that can help reduce energy costs, which is why we’re excited to partner with the excellent team at R E Roofing as the first contractor to offer GAF Energy’s solar systems in Santa Clara county.”

The GAF Energy solar system couples innovative, attractive, and affordable solar technology with fast, easy installation. Designed to provide a good-looking, low-profile alternative to typical rack-mounted solar panels — which are typically drilled through the roof’s shingles — GAF Energy solar integrates directly with the roofing system and requires no penetration of the roofing membrane.

GAF Energy uses premium solar panels to optimize power output with a matching color profile to the roof to maximize aesthetic appeal, combined with robust flashing and a sleek black perimeter shield to reduce the risk of leaks and animal intrusion.
