No wonder solar is soaring, and
America’s homeowners are helping
to lead the charge.
• By the end of 2012, the nation
will have over 7,000 megawatts
of installed solar electric capacity.
That’s enough to power more
than 1.1 million homes.
• U.S. residential solar has been
expanding at between 30% and
40% annual rate in recent years.
• Over 51,000 U.S. homes installed
solar in 2011 alone, bringing the
total to over 200,000 nationwide.
• Projections have residential
installations alone accounting for
more than 1,500 megawatts in less
than five years.
CertainTeed Roofing recycles, reuses and re-envisions our environment.
Here are ways we put ideas into action with green as our goal.
Recycling and the
road to success.
We recycle nearly 90%
of our manufacturing
production waste into
asphalt materials
for road construction.
Bring nature back.
Our Oxford facility, the
world’s largest roofing
plant, has its own
wetlands and a water
management system
where wildlife thrives.
