Solar roofing company that rivals Tesla eyes opening $100M, 450K-square-foot facility in Georgetown

Public documents indicate that GAF Energy plans to make its nail-on roof shingles that produce solar energy in Georgetown. GAF’s Timberline Solar shingles challenge the Solar Roof that Tesla introduced in 2016. GAF’s product can be nailed to a roof, just like a regular shingle, cutting down install costs. They are also bigger, which GAF says makes them easier to make and increases reliability.
