Lumina Slate Series

Massive Scale & Aesthetics: This private gymnasium/fitness center featured a sprawling roof area of over 1200 sq.m (nearly 13,000 sq.ft). The owner required a substantial 75kW installed capacity to make the massive building energy self-sufficient, but strictly rejected traditional, industrial-looking solar racks that would ruin the building’s sleek architecture.
Architectural Complexity: The roof was not just flat; it was a complex composition of multiple hips, valleys, and intersecting slopes. Ensuring perfect waterproofing and visual continuity across this large, segmented expanse was a significant engineering challenge.

Seamless Commercial Integration: We selected the high-output Lumina Slate (Pro+) series for this massive retrofit. By utilizing the modular solar tiles as the primary roofing material, we were able to provide full, edge-to-edge coverage across the 1200 sq.m surface. The result is a unified, invisible power plant that enhances the property’s modern aesthetic.
Engineered for Reliability: As captured in our construction logs, including specific shots of the complex wooden batten sub-structure, our team ensured precise alignment. The specialized tiles proved easy to cut and form around complex valleys and hips, resulting in a perfectly sleek, watertight, and highly efficient 75kW powerhouse that silently generates an estimated 90,000 kWh annually.
