Madison, WI - Sun Vault Roofing is proud to announce the completion of the first CertainTeed Solar Shingle roof installation on Madison's west side. This milestone marks a step forward in combining advanced solar energy generation with robust roofing in Wisconsin.


Merging Solar Innovation with Roofing Excellence


CertainTeed's solar shingles integrate photovoltaic functionality directly into the roof surface, delivering both energy production and protective roofing in one seamless system. For homeowners, this means a sleek, durable roof that also produces clean electricity.

"Homeowners want solar without compromising their roof's appearance or watertight integrity," said Kyle Mumm, Co‐Owner of Sun Vault Roofing. "With this installation, we're proving you can get both high performance roofing and renewable energy without trade‐offs like drilling hundreds of holes into your roof."


Project at a Glance


For their first project, Sun Vault Roofing installed a 5kW system on a household rooftop on Madison's West Side. The solar is distributed across two separate solar arrays, covering about 400 square feet of roofing surface. This year they are on track to install almost 60 kW of clean, renewable energy across rooftops in Dane County and southern Wisconsin in 2025. By leveraging their innovative direct-to-deck solar shingle solution, Sun Vault Roofing will prevent drilling over 1,000 holes in customer rooftops.

Solar Roofing projects from Sun Vault roofing come with two premium manufacturer warranties from CertainTeed: first, a standard 50-year roofing manufacturer warranty on the waterproof integrity of the shingles and roofing system. And second, a guarantee that after 25 years, the solar shingles will still be producing energy at 80% or more of the original cell efficiency. As with conventional rooftop solar installations, Solstice solar shingle installations qualify for incentives such as the 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and Wisconsin's Focus on Energy residential solar rebate.

Why This Is Significant for Homeowners in Wisconsin


- Weather Resilience: The solar shingle system meets stringent ratings for wind, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles needed in Wisconsin.
- Aesthetics: Because shingles replace traditional roofing materials rather than being mounted above the roof, the visual impact is minimal. There are no bulky steel racks or exposed wires.
- Energy & Savings: Homeowners begin reducing their electric bills immediately while lowering their carbon footprint.
- Regional Leadership: Sun Vault Roofing becomes the first contractor in Wisconsin to deploy this fully integrated solar roofing solution.

In summary, compared to conventional rack-mounted solar panels, building-integrated solar roofing looks better, requires less maintenance, is better-suited for Wisconsin's climate, and has a smaller environmental footprint.


Looking Ahead


Solar roofing solutions do command a price premium. At least for now. One of the primary goals of Sun Vault Roofing is to popularize this technology, leading to the same economies of scale that allowed the price of conventional solar panels to drop over the last 30 years. Their goal is that in another 10 years, solar roofing is as or more accessible than conventional panels.

"This is more than a single roof, it's a blueprint for what standard residential solar will look like very soon," added Jon Torre. "We're ready to bring this technology across Dane County and beyond, making solar shingle roofs an accessible option for more homeowners."

Sun Vault Roofing plans to expand installations throughout Greater Madison, tapping into rising demand for clean energy and smart home upgrades.
