We Install

Henderson Roofing installs the GAF Timberline® Solar ES 2 shingle – the first nailable solar shingle on the market. Unlike traditional solar panels that sit on top of the roof, these solar shingles are the roof, combining clean energy generation with a streamlined look.

The Timberline® Solar ES 2 delivers up to 57 watts per shingle and offers improved solar efficiency compared to earlier versions. They are also fully compatible with all Timberline asphalt shingles, meaning the finished roof looks cohesive while maintaining strong water shedding and wind resistance. The Timberline® Solar system adds solar power to your home without compromising your roof’s performance or aesthetic.

Benefits of Installing Solar Shingles

Solar shingles offer a practical way to harness renewable energy without the bulky look of traditional solar panels. They provide the best of both worlds in protection and energy efficiency for Connecticut homeowners.

Clean, Seamless Appearance
Solar shingles lie flat against the roof, blending in with standard asphalt shingles for a low-profile, modern finish.
Lower Energy Bills
By producing electricity from sunlight, solar roofing can reduce your reliance on the utility grid and lower monthly energy costs.
Tax Credits and Incentives
Homeowners may be eligible for a 30% federal tax credit through the Residential Clean Energy Credit, along with other local incentives.
Durable, Weather-Resistant Design
Solar shingles are built to withstand wind, rain, and snow to deliver dependable roofing performance year-round.
No Rack-Mounted Panels
Unlike traditional solar panel systems, solar shingles require no external mounting equipment or structural alterations.

How Much Does a Solar Roof Cost?

The cost of a solar roof depends on a few key factors: the size and pitch of your roof, your home’s energy usage, and the complexity of the installation. Materials, electrical components, and labor all play a role in the final price. While exact pricing varies from home to home, most Connecticut homeowners can expect solar shingles roofing to cost at least $30,000 for an average-sized home. The cost can increase with system size, roof design, or custom features.

Savings From Solar Roofing in Connecticut

Going solar is a long-term investment and can lead to substantial financial returns. In Connecticut, where electricity rates are among the highest in the country, the potential for savings is especially strong. According to Project Sunroof estimates, homeowners in Connecticut can save over $27,000 on electricity costs over 20 years by switching to solar roofing. The savings begin to accumulate as soon as your system is active, with most homeowners seeing noticeable reductions in their monthly energy bills.

The Residential Clean Energy Credit also allows homeowners to claim 30% of their total project cost back as a federal tax credit. The credit can dramatically reduce your upfront costs and shorten the time it takes to break even on your solar investment. For many homeowners, the combined benefits make solar roofing one of the smartest home upgrades available.

Solar Roof Financing in Connecticut

The upfront cost of solar roofing can be a barrier – so Henderson Roofing offers flexible financing options to make the transition more accessible. With our financing plans, you can break the total project cost into manageable monthly payments that work with your budget. We’ll walk you through available options and help you choose a plan to fit your needs and goals.
