A solar shingle designed for steep sloped roofing applications.
The polycrystalline photovoltaic tempered glass module is adhered
to a custom formed metal shingle. A premium plastic edge protector
surrounds the glass to provide added durability. The junction
box located on the back is positioned in the center of the shingle,
allowing equal length wires to run in either direction.
Luma Resources Solar
Shingle
Composing as the roof, the solar shingles come with
their own custom flashing that surrounds the system. The flashing
transitions the solar shingles into, virtually, all other roofing
products. Underneath the solar shingle there is space for air
flow and wire harnessing.

LUMA’s Core Strengths
- The LUMA innovation
completely eliminates the long standing problem that faces
typical solar products known as the half life roof.
- LUMA ships factory-direct
with all the component parts.
- The system is sold in
a variety of standard or custom sizes.
- The system installs
quickly, reducing installation time and labour expense.
- LUMA’s system is aesthetically
pleasing, and can be integrated with any type of roofing
shingle.
- The system is totally
building integrated and qualifies for Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED) points.
- LUMA’s system is the
roof, as well as the solar generator. Roofing shingles and
labour are not needed within the LUMA Solar Roof footprint.
The Half Life Roof
One of the biggest impasses to residential solar is the half
life roof. Racking systems are currently the most common way
to install solar systems on rooftops. These outdated systems
are usually made up of aluminum rails and roof brackets used
to add solar arrays on top of existing roofs. The challenge
that faces the contractor and their customers is this; what
do you do when the existing roof still has years of usable life
left but will not outlast the newly installed framed solar modules
mounted to the roof on racks?
Until
now a contractor’s options for their customers wanting roof
top solar systems were:
- Install the solar racking
system, then later remove and reinstall it when it’s time
to reroof.
- The Drawback: A lot of
extra work and expense down the road and the chance for
damage to the solar system by extra handling.
- Reroof before installing
the rack mounted solar system.
- The Drawback: The lost
value of the existing roof, and more upfront cost by having
to reroof before installing the solar system.
- Reroof the area the
new rack system will occupy.
- The Drawback: There’s
a very high probability that the new shingles will not match
the old. Also, you now have a section of the roof that is
out of sync (age wise).
Drawbacks Solved
Install
a Luma Solar System. Luma's core strengths solve the half life
roof problem!The
area of roof space that LUMA occupies is the roof. When a LUMA
Solar Roofing System is installed it does not matter how old,
or new the surrounding roof system is. The LUMA system will
flash to any roof in its existing condition. A new roof can
be installed around The LUMA system at any future date without
ever having to touch the solar roof section, because the LUMA
system is the roof and the solar energy collector. A true industry
breakthrough!
Why does the LUMA System look better than traditional solar
systems?The
LUMA roofing shingle is a Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV)
system. The system integrates within the roof rather than the
large box or plate like PV panels which are mounted atop the
existing roofing materials. BIPV offers a number of advantages:
- The LUMA System is pleasing
to look at; it blends into the roofing material surrounding
it.
- It integrates into,
and is part of the roofing system rather than appearing
as an afterthought.
- The horizontal lines
of the LUMA System naturally flow with the horizontal lines
of most roofing systems.
- LUMA’s low profile integration
into the roof instead of large squares rising 4 to 6 inches
above the roof attract a lot less attention.
- LUMA’s flashing system
surrounds the solar shingles instead of bare aluminum bars
that are typically used for rack mounted systems.
- LUMA’s system is custom
fit to the exact roof it is being installed on. Therefore,
it can be centered on the roof and look symmetrical.
Another
very important LUMA advantage:
LUMA’s customers are contractors which mean one point of contact
for the customer. This becomes very important if warranty issues
arise. Only one contractor will be responsible for the solar
system, the surrounding roof, and the electrical hook up.
How can the LUMA System help you?By
taking all of the traditional impasses out of the way, (the
racking system, the half life roof, and premature reroofing)
LUMA Resources & GreenerEnergy.ca offers: pleasing appearance,
a fully engineered system, turn-key packaging, and quick &
easy installation.
