Solar installer Summit Energy’s Peak Roofing division has introduced the Solstice Solar Shingle System from CertainTeed. The Solstice Shingle System combines solar energy production into a low-profile roofing system that provides a sleek, uniform appearance integrating seamlessly with asphalt shingles. Peak Roofing is also one of a few in the nation which are CertainTeed Select Masters in both solar and shingles.
“We are excited to be working with CertainTeed on this highly innovative breakthrough in the solar shingle class. Solstice combines the best in aesthetics and solar power production in the industry. Many manufacturers have tried but no one has been able to create the seamless integration with asphalt shingles we see with Solstice,” said Adam Graber, director of business development at Summit Energy. “The value of solar power to the customer in savings and to the world in helping to reduce climate change are well-known drivers for acceptance. However, some homeowners have been reluctant to adopt solar due to the aesthetics. This breakthrough design is addressing that perception head on and is proving to be a real gamechanger.”
The Solstice Shingle boasts market-leading impact and wind resistance for solar shingles with a wind speed rating of 110 mph. They are also rated to be installed in any wind zone including Florida’s high velocity hurricane zone. The Solstice Shingle is also watertight due to the water channel and raised fastener locations designed to provide added protection against water intrusion.
Founded by solar veterans Eric Israelsen and Dallin Maw, Summit Energy has expanded its service area steadily and now offers solar and roofing solutions for homeowners and businesses in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
