June 23, 2008—Lumeta, Inc. has announced the European launch of its full line of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) modules for the residential and commercial markets.
Manufactured by Suntech, a leading photovoltaic manufacturer, Lumeta integrated solar modules become a part of the roof, creating clean, renewable energy without compromising the aesthetics and functionality of the roof system.
Developed by the leaders of parent group DRI Companies, a top California roofing contracting company, Lumeta was designed to integrate with most major flat and profiled roof systems and remove existing barriers to solar adoption.
Lumeta PowerPly modules save balance of system costs (BOS), as well as installation time and costs as a result of its “Peel and Stick” technology. The S and Flat Tile panels blend naturally with the architectural design of residential homes by replicating the existing aesthetics, says the company.
Lumeta, Inc. is one of four wholly owned subsidiaries of DRI Companies, a privately held company and one of the most experienced and respected roofing and solar contractors in the United States. For more information, see the Web site.
