The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, founded by George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, opened to the public on September 22, 2026 in Los Angeles, according to Solar Power World. Onyx Solar supplied more than 32,000 square feet of photovoltaic glass for the museum roof, a system with a peak power of 279 kW.
The building was designed by MAD Architects under Ma Yansong, with Stantec serving as executive architect and Alfa-Tech as the MEP engineer. It covers 300,000 square feet across a 13-acre landscaped campus. Its curved volume has no flat facades and no right angles, rising above the ground and combining a green roof on one slope with the solar roof on the other.
Diego Cuevas, vice president of Onyx Solar North America, said projects such as the Lucas Museum show that solar energy does not have to be added to architecture and can instead become part of the architecture itself. He said taking part in a project of this significance gives Onyx Solar an opportunity to demonstrate what building-integrated photovoltaics can achieve.
The Spanish BIPV company designed the solar system for the curved rooftop. The PV glass panels use high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells with a black rear finish to meet the intended aesthetic. Multiple tapered panels were engineered and fabricated to follow the shape of the rooftop arrays.
Electrical contractor Baker Electric integrated the PV glass panels, using IronRidge XR1000 profiles and clamps.
Onyx Solar has an established presence in the U.S. market. Its solar glass is also installed at the former headquarters of Bell Labs in New Jersey, which appears as the office space in the Apple TV+ series Severance.
