Florida is known to many as the Sunshine State, which sounds perfect for residents to switch to solar. Over the last few years, the state has been embracing a new era in home energy, one that combines the protection of a quality roof with the long-term benefits of clean, renewable power. DUBO Roofing and Construction, one of Northeast Florida’s most respected roofing contractors, is proud to partner with GAF Energy, the solar division of Timberline Solar, to bring solar quality solar roofs to the residents of Jacksonville, Orange Park, Fleming Island, Middleburg, Green Cove Springs, and the Jacksonville Beaches.

How GAF Energy Is Leading The Charge In Solar Roofing
When it comes to solar roofing, GAF energy is leading the charge in terms of innovations and making solar roofs both aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient. Their partnership with DUBO Roofing and Construction is making solar roofs more accessible to clients who may have not considered solar roofing in the past or were not sold on the idea of solar panels. According to an Article by Roofing Magazine, 50% of GAF Energy’s sales come from Pennsylvania, Illinois and the sunshine state, Florida. Florida, specifically, is a prime solar environment. In a recent interview, President Martin DeBono spoke about Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BPIV). BPIV is the integration of photovoltaic modules as both a building material and a solar electric generator; this makes the solar infrastructure a seamless part of the roof that is both energy efficient and aesthetically pleasing.
GAF’s partnership with DUBO Roofing and Construction means that both your roof and solar installation are handled by the same contractor, as they will offer bundles that include both roof replacements and solar integration. In other words, homeowners and businessowners can take care of their roofing maintenance while smoothly transitioning to solar roofing. While switching to solar might be a higher cost upfront, homeowners and businessowners will benefit in the long run from reduced utility bills and increased property value.
The Sunshine State’s Unique Solar Opportunity
Florida is uniquely positioned to become a leader in solar energy, thanks to its abundant sunshine. However, the path to widespread solar adoption in Florida has been anything but straightforward. Unlike states such as California and Arizona, Florida prohibits the sale of power through third party contractors; this is a right reserved only for utility companies. This restriction has historically limited homeowners’ ability to access solar roofing. Recently, the Florida Public Service Commission approved the use of residential solar leases on a limited basis, signaling a gradual shift toward more accessible solar financing. Cities like Miami, for example, have started to consider the importance of climate mitigation and adaptation; this means the demand for renewable energy in the state is increasingly growing. As Roofing Magazine highlights, roofers now hold a critical role in advancing the solar movement. Companies like DUBO Roofing and Construction are at the forefront of this change, offering incentives and bundles that include roofing services and solar roofing together. By doing so, they are removing traditional obstacles, streamlining the installation process, and empowering more homeowners to harness one of Florida’s most abundant and untapped natural resources: sunlight.
How Solar Roofing Saves Money and Pays for Itself
The biggest selling point for solar roofing is its cost and energy efficiency. Switching to solar energy means customers no longer have to rely on the power grid for their electricity. Instead, their roof harnesses the power of the sun to create energy and turn it into electricity. Solar roofs also store excess energy for use on rainy days and during the nighttime, ensuring customers have power 24/7. GAF’s solar roofing system merges the durability of a traditional roof with the energy-generating capabilities of solar panels. Unlike conventional solar panels, GAF’s “direct-to-check” technology integrates solar elements directly into the roof structure; this protect the roof’s integrity as there is no racking systems needed. According to PV Magazine USA, this will be achieved by solar technology shifting toward Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), which will result in a visually appealing and energy efficient property.
