WAYNE, NJ--GE Energy and GAF Materials Corporation (GAF), two companies with more than 100 years of experience in the energy and roofing industries respectively, announced today a new strategic alliance to market and ultimately develop solar systems and roofing systems for commercial and residential customers.
GE Energy and GAF now offer customers one-stop shopping for new roofs and solar electric systems. Customers interested in purchasing a new roof can have a solar system installed at the same time, providing customers with a more convenient solution for their homes and businesses.
"This agreement will help to further advance the use of solar energy technology in both residential and commercial applications across North America," said Victor Abate, vice president of renewables for GE Energy. "It underscores GE's continuing commitment to increase the role that renewable resources such as wind and solar can play to meet our nation's future energy needs."
GAF is North America’s largest manufacturer of residential and commercial roofing, with a network of more than 12,000 contractors, distributors and roofing installers nationwide.
Worldwide demand for reliable, affordable and renewable energy has fueled the solar industry’s 40 percent growth rate since 2005, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. Strong growth is expected to continue, putting solar among the fastest growing renewable energy segments in the global power industry.
