Peel-and-stick solar panels are part of the building
Solar panels developped by construction company that use peel-and-stick technology to attach to roofs. The company is called Lumeta, a subsidiary of DRI. Just watch the video. The roof is done in minuts…. Incredible……
“Solar needs to become part of the building envelope and this is a step towards that,” said Stephen Torres, COO of Lumeta. “The whole idea was [to] create a new product that integrates better with the roof system.”
With energy prices rising to records levels, the amount and variety of solar cells and solar systems is increasing by leaps and bounds, offering new options for consumers and businesses that want to take making electricity into their own hands.
Another question is. Is installation like this lasts 15, 20 or 30 years? Does the material stick to the roof long enough to make a ROI? What about stormy weather, are those panels water proof? Questions which I’m asking here… We’ll see…. -:)
