GAF announced a breakthrough in solar roofing technology: the DecoTech Roof-Integrated Solar System. The GAF DecoTech System, introduced at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando, Fla., couples with innovative, attractive, and affordable solar technology with fast, safe, and easy installation by roofing contractors.
Designed to provide an attractive, low-profile alternative to typical rack-mounted solar panels (which are typically suspended above the roof’s shingles), the DecoTech System is integrated directly into the roofing system. GAF uses premium solar panels to optimize power output. Robust flashing and a sleek black perimeter shield reduces the risk of leaks and animal intrusion, while creating a monochromatic profile that helps blend the Deco Black panels into the roof for maximum aesthetic appeal.
