Tri Peak Roofing
GAF Timberline Solar™ in Central Florida
GAF Timberline Solar™ integrates energy production into the roof itself — installed like shingles, no bulky racking. As a certified installer we can replace your roof and add solar in a single, watertight system.
Call (352) 810-4026Traditional solar panels sit on top of your roof, bolted to racks that penetrate the deck and create extra maintenance points. GAF Timberline Solar takes a different approach: each solar shingle is nailed down and integrated directly into the roofing system, so the panel is part of the water-shedding surface instead of hardware mounted above it. For Nature Coast and Tampa Bay homeowners weighing a reroof, that matters — fewer penetrations means fewer places for wind-driven rain to find a way in during our summer storm season. Because Tri Peak installs both the roof and the solar shingles as one system, you're not coordinating between a roofer and a separate solar contractor, and you get a single point of accountability for the whole assembly, from underlayment to energy production.

Shingle, Not Rack
Standard solar panels are mounted several inches above the shingles on aluminum racking, which adds weight, wind resistance, and extra flashing points around each mounting foot. GAF Timberline Solar shingles lie low and flush, nailed into the roof deck the same way a standard asphalt shingle is installed. There's no rack structure to inspect, re-flash, or worry about lifting in a storm. The result is a cleaner roofline and a roofing detail the crew already knows how to waterproof correctly, because it's built from shingle components, not add-on hardware.
One Roof, One System
Replacing a roof and adding solar separately usually means two contractors, two warranties, and two sets of penetrations layered on the same deck. Installing Timberline Solar shingles as part of a reroof lets Tri Peak treat the roof and the energy-producing layer as one watertight assembly from the start. Flashing details, underlayment, and shingle courses are planned together instead of retrofitted around existing racking later, which is the more common source of leaks when solar gets bolted onto an older roof after the fact.
What Certified Installation Means
GAF requires installers to complete specific training on the Timberline Solar product before they can install it under GAF's system warranties. Tri Peak's certification means our crews are trained on the manufacturer's installation specs for this particular shingle, not general solar mounting practices. That matters because the shingle has to perform two jobs at once, shedding water like a roofing product and generating power like a solar product, and both depend on it going down correctly the first time.
GAF Timberline Solar™ FAQs
Does GAF Timberline Solar look different from a regular roof?
The solar shingles are low-profile and integrate into the roof plane rather than sitting up on racks, so the roofline stays flatter and cleaner than a rack-mounted panel system. Exact appearance depends on how much of the roof is covered in solar shingles versus standard shingles.
Can Tri Peak install Timberline Solar on an existing roof, or only during a full reroof?
Because the shingles are a roofing product, they're installed as part of a roof system rather than added on top of existing shingles. In most cases that means it's done alongside a full or partial reroof rather than as a standalone add-on.
Do I need a separate solar company to handle the electrical side?
Tri Peak handles the roofing and shingle installation; electrical connection work involves licensed electrical trades as required by Florida code. We coordinate that piece as part of the project rather than leaving you to manage two unrelated contractors.
Is Timberline Solar a good fit for every roof?
Suitability depends on roof shape, orientation, shading, and the condition of the existing structure, which is why we evaluate each roof individually. We can walk through what's realistic for your specific home during an inspection.
