GAF Energy is set to build a new solar roofing testing facility, as well as launch a round of Building Integrated Solar (BIPV) testing, due in part to a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) investment.
GAF Energy’s Timberline Solar roof features what the company calls the world’s first nailable solar shingle, integrating solar technology into traditional roofing processes and materials.
The testing project aims to develop and validate a combination of optical, thermal and energy models for roof-integrated solar shingles.
The facility is expected to be equipped with weather, PV and temperature monitoring.
“Solar roofing offers the opportunity for residential solar to reach the mainstream and testing is critical to further innovation in this sector,” says Martin DeBono, president of GAF Energy.
“We’re thankful to the Department of Energy for their ongoing commitment to supporting clean energy innovation and we’re looking forward to continuing our partnership with the experts at Sandia National Labs to verify the performance, durability and benefits of solar roofing.”
GAF Energy is partnering with Sandia National Laboratories on the project.

We have hundreds of convicted criminals on the streets due to Trump’s pardons. We have a quagmire in Iran due to Trump’s pointless and illegal war. The United States is viewed internationally with a blend of pity, contempt, and ridicule.
These were some dark days in U.S. history, but they seem bright and shiny in comparison to today.
Nixon didn’t storm the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government, nor did he hand out pardons for cash.

John Eastman, One of Trump’s Attorney Henchmen in an Attempt to Overthrow the U.S. Government, Is Disbarred
In April of this year, the California Supreme Court disbarred attorney John Charles Eastman. This after the State Bar Court Review Department in July 2025 affirmed the findings of the State Bar Court Hearing Department’s March 2024 recommendation, which found Eastman culpable of 10 out of 11 charges for egregious and deceitful conduct and recommended his disbarment.
Apparently, certain bodies within the United States are still trying to maintain justice here in America.
