GAF Energy is recalling about 2,100 Timberline Solar (TLS-1) energy shingles and jumper modules installed in residential solar systems. The electrical components in these roof-mounted shingles can malfunction, creating a fire hazard. GAF Energy is remotely shutting off impacted systems and will replace all jumper modules and repair the shingle components free of charge. The company is also compensating homeowners for monetary losses resulting from the loss of solar energy generation during the shutdown period.
The electrical components within the shingles can fail, leading to overheating and potential fires. The manufacturer has received six reports of thermal incidents, including one fire and five instances of property damage such as damage to roof decks.
GAF Energy will replace all jumper modules and check the electrical components of each solar shingle for defects, and repair free of charge. GAF Energy has been remotely shutting off impacted systems until the remediation is complete and consumers will be compensated for monetary losses due to the loss of solar energy generation during that time. GAF Energy is contacting known owners of the energy shingles directly by phone to schedule the repair and replacement of the recalled jumper modules and affected electrical components. If consumers have not been contacted by GAF Energy, they should contact their installers to determine if their solar energy shingles' components are recalled.
