A San José-based tech company that sells roof shingles with builtin solar panels is the latest to announce plans to leave the Golden State for Texas.

GAF Energy will relocate its headquarters to Georgetown, Texas, on Dec. 13, the company announced in a notification document filed with state officials. The company said its decision was motivated by better market opportunities in Texas, rather than an unfavorable business environment in California.

The company will lay off 138 California-based employees, including technicians, engineers and managers.

The San José headquarters, which is currently used for research, development and solar panel manufacturing, was opened in 2021. Both in-person and remote employees will be affected by its closure, the notice said.
