GAF Energy has closed its San Jose, California, facility and moved its headquarters to Georgetown, Texas, where it will now manufacture its solar shingles. This relocation, driven by changes in the solar industry, resulted in 138 layoffs in California. The Texas factory, opened in May 2024, aims to meet the growing demand for the company's Timberline Solar Energy Shingle.
