Irvine,
CA, USA: Lumeta Launches Low-Slope Solar Product Line
Lumeta,
a provider of roof integrated solar energy products, today announced
the launch of the PowerPly 380 Roof Integrated Photovoltaic Module
for low-slope commercial buildings and high-density, multi-family
homes.

“Lumeta’s
design and engineering teams are experienced roofing contractors
and solar designers who understand the unique attributes of commercial
buildings and how solar power can be integrated within these building
envelopes,” said Stephen Torres, Lumeta’s Chief Operating Officer.
“The PowerPly 380 leverages 30 years of roofing expertise in a
solar module optimized for roof integrated commercial installations,
eliminating the need for racking or other mounting structures,
and delivering improved roof membrane compatibility, greater power
density than other roof integrated solutions and installation
advantages that lower overall costs for building owners.”
Lumeta
is a wholly owned subsidiary of DRI Companies, the parent company
of one of the largest roofing contractors in the U.S. with major
commercial and residential building customers. DRI formally launched
Lumeta and its first roof integrated solar product line, the Solar
S-Tile, at the Pacific Coast Builders Conference in May.
Lumeta’s
PowerPly 380 flat-roof solar module, along with its Solar S-Tile
and Flat Tile products, will be on display at Solar Power 2007
in Long Beach, CA from September 24-27, North America’s largest
annual tradeshow for solar power manufacturers, developers and
service providers. Lumeta can be found in booth 344.
Incorporating
design expertise from DRI Companies’ team of roofing technicians
and solar engineers, Lumeta’s PowerPly 380 uses a fully adhered
attachment method to avoid roof penetrations and mounting structures,
reducing installation time and associated costs. The Teflon front
sheet uses no glass, further reducing module weight, and the panel’s
low profile eliminates water ponding and significantly reduces
wind up-lift. Lumeta will offer the PowerPly 380 through DRI Energy,
DRI Companies’ turnkey solar subsidiary. The company addresses
each step of the solar and roof system installation process, from
design and engineering to finance, rebate administration support
and system monitoring services. PowerPly 380 will also be available
for direct purchase from Lumeta by qualified installers.
“Our
commercial customers throughout the country trust DRI’s roofing
expertise,” said Timothy Davey, CEO of DRI Companies. “We’re excited
to offer them solar products and services that meet their growing
needs for solar power without compromising the functionality of
their roof system. The development of the PowerPly 380 grew naturally
from our existing expertise and experience in the design and installation
of low-slope roof systems.”
