Our solar modules use patented and proven technologies: traditional monocrystalline silicon with time-tested lightweight materials. That's why our innovative approach was recognized by Solar Power World as one of 2017's Top Products. The result: high-efficiency low-profile modules, installed quickly and easily with no roof penetrations. Field-tested for more than seven years, it's a proven formula for better solar. We've been tough on our modules. More than simply UL Certified, our modules have undergone rigorous testing using respected labs including CFV, Fraunhofer and RETC using the NREL Certification Plus standards and protocols developed by Black & Veatch.
Lumeta's innovative approach to solar began when a big box retailer wanted lightweight solar that didn't involve drilling into its roofs. Our solution has been tested in Europe since 2010, exceeding energy production estimates. After Lumeta was selected to provide modules for the Department of Energy Plug and Play PV program and granted a SunShot award, we redesigned our modules for the residential market's needs. Today, Lumeta Solar continues to lead innovation in easy-to-install, lightweight 60-cell residential and 72-cell commercial solar modules.
Lumeta is a small, but rapidly growing, startup, with a culture that values enthusiasm, open communication, a commitment to quality, and a hands-on approach. We are engineers, entrepreneurs, builders, and solar pros who are united by a passion for smart energy technology that grows good jobs. We are based in Emeryville, California, in the heart of the East Bay's vibrant clean energy startup corridor and close to dozens of other solar innovators as well as Powerhouse, the world's only incubator and accelerator dedicated to intelligent energy entrepreneurs building solutions for storage, distributed energy, and grid modernization.
