These shingles by Tamko are a good-looking alternative to traditional roofing materials, and just recently their “cool colors” received Energy Star qualification, which makes them eligible for federal tax credits. The shingles have an initial solar reflectance that meets or exceeds Energy Star’s requirements of at least 25% and a maintenance solar reflectance of at least 15% after three years of normal use. The shingles’ high solar reflectance keeps attics cooler and may help lower energy costs for the building. The product comes in a variety of styles and colors that mimic slate and cedar shake, are listed for UL Class A fire resistance, Class 4 impact resistance, and come with a 50-year limited warranty.
