Under a 3.4 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 3 rows of 500 mm tile flown, which is tight; ground-stack or go lower on trim. Along the 35.7 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 57 x 3 (11400 x 600 px, 1,334 kg, 27.4 kW).

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absen KLCOB 0.78 | 0.78 mm | 47 x 4 = 188 | 28.2 x 1.4 m | 36096 x 1728 | 846 kg / 1,865 lb | 16.6 kW, 80 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 57 x 3 = 171 | 28.5 x 1.5 m | 11400 x 600 | 1,334 kg / 2,940 lb | 27.4 kW, 132 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 57 x 3 = 171 | 28.5 x 1.5 m | 7296 x 384 | 1,334 kg / 2,940 lb | 23.9 kW, 115 A @ 208 V |
Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.
