Does the DecoTech™ System produce as much electricity as a rack-mounted system?

The DecoTech™ System uses best-in-class standard modules, which allows it to produce the equivalent amount of electricity when compared to typical rack-mounted systems.

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for the DecoTech™ System?

Visit the GAF website to see if there is a GAF Solar Elite Contractor™ in your area who can perform a site survey and walk you through the solar process. Go to: http://us.gaf.com/Solar.

How big will my DecoTech™ System be?

The size of the system depends on factors such as your energy consumption, amount of roof space, and the percentage of energy offset. The best way to determine the size of your system is to contact your local contractor to conduct a preliminary assessment.

How does the warranty work?

The DecoTech™ System is covered by the DecoTech™ Limited Warranty, which provides coverage for manufacturing defects in the DecoTech™ System. You may also be eligible for the GAF Golden Pledge® Ltd. Warranty and DecoTech™ Addendum, which cover manufacturing defects and misapplication of both the DecoTech™ System and your roofing system.1 You should review these documents carefully to fully understand your warranty coverage and restrictions.

What maintenance is there with the DecoTech™ System?

The DecoTech™ System normally requires no maintenance. In certain dry climates, DecoTech™ panels may need to be hosed down occasionally for optimal performance.

What happens to solar panels when it’s cloudy or raining?Solar panels will still work even when the light is reflected or partially blocked by clouds. Rain actually helps to keep your panels operating efficiently by washing away any dust or dirt.

Will I save money on my electricity bill?Actual electricity savings will depend on your energy usage, location, utility company, effects of tiered pricing, electricity pricing regulations, surcharges, availability of incentives in your area, and other variables.2
