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.

What do you notice about the shopping bag in the photo?
It has no handles.
That’s right, Albertson’s, with annual revenues of more than $83 billion, has decided to inconvenience its customers, forcing them to wrap both of their arms around their grocery bags to get them into and out of their shopping carts, into and out of their cars, and finally into their homes.
The savings? From what I can learn from AI, the answer is somewhere around $0.12 each. If you’re interested, you can Google: “cost per 1000000 paper grocery bags.”
I understand that grocery stores operate on low margins, but if it were my decision to make, I wouldn’t be deliberately pissing off my customers, many of them elderly, who are spending $100 for a bag of my groceries in order to save 12 cents.
Yet the Albertson’s example isn’t unique; in fact, it’s everywhere you go. Look at your cell phone bill and your streaming services. Corporate greed is grinding you into the pavement while it relished in your misery.

What Krishnamurti says at left reminds us of the direction that essentially everything takes in human civilization. What once was pure eventually becomes adulterated and monetized.
The most egregious example of this is how the wealthiest human beings on Earth have decided to ruin the planet with carbon emissions–simply so they can make even more money.
