SolarZone Capacity
Total wattage of solar: 1,800W
Nominal battery capacity: 4,800 Wh (24V, 200Ah)
Allowable depth of discharge: 50%
Battery chemistry: AGM
Maximum continuous load (@77°F): 700W (This is the maximum amount of power the SolarZone can supply through the AC outlet and wireless chargers, all combined into one load. This is exclusive of lights.)
Note: We have assumed about 60% of nominal capacity when sizing the batteries, which is what power remains at a temperature of 20F. The batteries will operate safely down to about 0F, but with further reduction in capacity. In both cases, the capacity returns when the temperature rises. The likelihood of heavy usage at such low temperatures is minimal, so the reduced capacity is not typically an issue.
Modules 10 Year Workmanship/ 30 Year Power
Mounting Products 10 Year Workmanship/ 3 Year Finish
Electronics 5 Year Electronics/ 3 Year Battery
The table with benches is just over 9-feet square, and the maximum height of the solar canopy is about 10.5 feet. The following schematic shows the actual unit technical dimensions in inches.
Yes, the SolarZone is designed to create approximately 6 feet of airspace between the four users.
The SolarZone can be installed by two experienced installers in approximately 4-5 hours with proper tools and preparation.
No foundations are required. The SolarZone can be installed on a clean concrete slab or directly onto the ground. We offer anchoring solutions for both applications.
We are solar experts, not tax experts. Tax codes are complicated, and can also vary by state, so consult your tax advisor before deciding what is best for your situation. Here is what we do know:
Eligibility for residential properties
If you are installing energy storage on a residential property, it is eligible for a credit under the ITC – as long as the battery is only charged by an on-site renewable energy system like solar. If you don’t have solar panels, and plan on charging the battery with electricity from the grid, it isn’t eligible for the 26 percent solar tax credit.
Eligibility for commercial properties
If you are installing energy storage on a commercial property, it is eligible for a credit under the ITC as long as the battery is charged by a renewable energy system more than 75 percent of the time. The exact value of the federal tax credit for batteries depends on how frequently the battery is charged by a renewable energy system. To claim the full value, the battery needs to be charged by renewable energy 100 percent of the time. Otherwise, the credit is based on the portion of renewable energy it receives.
The SolarZone is shipped in a single crate from Denver, Colorado to your location. You will need a forklift to unload the crate onsite or have it delivered to a dock in order to receive.
The dimensions of the crate are 122” L x 48” W x 52” H
The crate weighs approximately 3,000 lbs.
Depending on your location, estimated costs are:
$1,200-2,000 per unit if shipped individually (LTL or PTL)
$3,000-4,000 per full truck load (10 units fit on a 53’ flatbed)
The system is rated for 175 mph wind gusts and 45 lbs per sf of snow load
The superstructure is powder coated aluminum. The table and benches are constructed of thermoplastic-coated steel. Both are designed for durable outdoor use with typical seasonal weather patterns from hot sun to freezing temperatures.
The standard integrated LED lighting of the SolarZone produces 10,280 lumens. The lights are programmable to turn on and off on any desired schedule via Bluetooth.
We recommend that a Lumos Authorized Professional handle the installation but the actual installation is fairly straightforward and can be completed by an experienced facilities team.
Lumos only sells to contractors, businesses, municipalities, schools or other commercial or institutional entities. Lumos does not sell direct to homeowners but can connect them with a Lumos Professional in their area.
The SolarZone provides a shaded outdoor workspace that meets social distancing regulations, ideal for any setting—from commercial office and retail locations to educational and healthcare facilities. For more information and a detailed pricing quote, contact us or fill out the inquiry form.
