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.

I suppose there are people who believe that the radical left is on a path to make Christianity illegal, and perhaps to install Islam as the official religion of the United States. This is remarkable for two reasons:
a) Every schoolchild in America learns about the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of religion at a very young age, and
b) This country made it successfully though 250 years with no one being ignorant enough to bring up this ridiculous concern.
One would hope that this figure of near 60% would indirectly translate into Trump’s ouster before he can take full control of the U.S. government.
We vote Trump’s stooges out of office in November and replace them people of honor. Trump is impeached, convicted and removed. From there, justice takes its course.
