by Rebecca Walker — October 13, 2010—The revolutionary LSX Module System from Lumos Solar brings next-generation installation efficiency and contemporary aesthetics to the solar industry with a frameless module, indexed racking, and plug-in wiring system, says the company.
The LSX Module System replaces standard solar panels and offers competitive energy production in every application including utility, commercial and residential applications.
“The biggest feat of the LSX Module System is bringing down the overall expense of an installation by dramatically reducing labor costs while providing the most aesthetic solar product on the market,” explains Lumos Solar product designer Chris Klinga. “It’s a unique marriage of the needs of the installer and the end user.”
Traditional solar arrays use aluminum-framed modules from one manufacturer, mounting clamps and racking from a second and wiring from a third, and installation requires cutting and splicing wires and time-consuming alignment of the different elements.
In contrast, LSX is a single, streamlined product with a low-profile frameless module, plug-in wiring connections, and a rack optimized with indexed mounting for fast and accurate module-to-rack connection. LSX modules are available in three different color options to give discerning clean energy buyers and utility integrators a choice in the appearance of their systems.
Besides the obvious advantages, the LSX Module System makes solar power greener.
The thin, frameless modules are manufactured with no aluminum, resulting in lower embodied energy. Integrated wiring and racking reduces installation time and material waste. Overall, LSX offers the highest value and smallest carbon footprint of any silicon-based module, racking and wiring combination.
Lumos Solar was founded when a group of solar installers decided there had to be better ways to integrate solar energy. For more information, see the Web site.
