Rochester
Hills, MI, USA: Uni-Solar Receives Laminate Order from Enel Green
Power
United
Solar Ovonic will supply up to 25 MW of UNI-SOLAR brand photovoltaic
laminates to Enel Green Power for installation on a number of
buildings owned by CIS-Interporto di Nola in Italy. Enel Green
Power is the renewable energy operating company of the Enel Group,
Italy's largest utility.
UNI-SOLAR
laminates will be fully integrated with the existing architecture
and will be installed on the roofs of a number of commercial and
logistic buildings, and are expected to begin producing power
in 2010. Once operational, the facility will be capable of producing
about 33 million kWh per year, enough to meet the consumption
needs of approximately 13,000 households, more than a third of
the inhabitants of Nol.
Mark
Morelli, ECD's president and CEO, said, "This announcement of
this significant purchase agreement with Enel Green Power is a
good indication that the evolution of our business to target large
scale, multi-rooftop projects is taking shape. We look forward
to working with them on similar opportunities in other countries
and expanding our relationship to include many more rooftop projects
in the future."
In
addition, United Solar is making a major contribution toward a
4 MW building integrated photovoltaic system on the roof-tops
of the Marcegaglia Group's industrial plant in Taranto. The system
will be mostly equipped with UNI-SOLAR flexible light weight photovoltaic
modules. The project, one of the largest innovative technology
roof-top systems in Italy, is scheduled to start operating in
2010. The installation features Marcegaglia's Brollo Solar photovoltaic
roofing system. This roofing system is formed by UNI-SOLAR laminates
being directly applied to corrugated sheets or insulating panels
to form a light weight BIPV roofing solution.
