KangaRoof installs the Timberline Solar roofing system by GAF Energy, the first nailable solar shingle. It goes on with standard roofing tools and techniques, by the same crew that installs the rest of your roof, so a roof replacement and a solar installation become one project handled by one contractor. We are a GAF Master Elite contractor based in Round Rock, serving Austin and Central Texas.
What a solar shingle roof is
Traditional solar panels are mounted on racks above a finished roof, usually by a separate solar crew. Timberline Solar shingles are the roof. They nail down like asphalt shingles, sit flush with the rest of the roof, and produce electricity while doing the job a roof does: shedding water and protecting the house. Because the solar shingles are part of the roofing system, they carry GAF's roofing pedigree rather than being an add-on bolted through it.
Who it fits
- Homeowners replacing a roof anyway. Doing solar at the same time avoids paying twice for labor and avoids removing panels later when the roof under them wears out.
- Homeowners who want solar without racks, rails and the raised-panel look. The finished roof reads as one surface.
- New construction, where roof and solar can be designed together from the start.
If your roof is in good condition and you are not replacing it, conventional panels on top of the existing roof are usually the better fit. We will tell you that plainly during the inspection. Our guide to solar shingles versus solar panels walks through the tradeoffs.
How the project runs
- Free inspection of the existing roof and a look at orientation, shade and the electrical panel.
- A guaranteed price for the complete roof, solar shingles included, not an estimate that changes later.
- Installation by a KangaRoof roofing crew, with the electrical connection completed and inspected per local code and utility requirements.
- Financing is available for the full project. See roof financing.
Storm and hail
Central Texas hail is the first question homeowners ask about any roof, solar included. We inspect solar shingle roofs the same way we inspect any roof after a storm, document damage with photos, and handle the insurance claim conversation with you. Our Central Texas hail history shows what Williamson and Travis County roofs have taken since 2015.
