Before joining GAF Energy, Robinett held senior leadership positions in global operations, manufacturing, engineering, and quality in the solar, electronics, and semiconductor industries. Most recently, Robinett was vice president of operations at Celestica. He holds a bachelor's degree in physics from the University of Texas at Austin.

“GAF Energy has changed the way rooftop solar and roofing intersect to bring a high-quality and attractive product to a broad consumer base across the U.S.,” said Robinett. “The decision to join the team was an easy one. I am thrilled to enter the new year with the company and continue to advance the deployment of our industry-leading solar roof system, particularly with an emphasis on U.S.-based manufacturing.”

The hire is the latest expansion for the growing company. In the last year, GAF Energy has announced several innovations in their industry-leading roof-integrated solar, including ultra-high efficiency panels, flexible size configurations and partnerships with some of the largest roofers in the country.
