Rochester
Hills, MI, USA: Energy Conversion Devices and Mercury Solar Systems
Sign Multi-Year Supply Agreement
Energy
Conversion Devices and Mercury Solar Systems, one of the leading
solar integrators on the East Coast, have signed a multi-year
direct supply agreement.
Mark
Morelli, ECD's President and CEO, said, "This agreement expands
the distribution of our UNI-SOLAR® brand products in eastern United
States, a market which we think has a tremendous growth potential.
Mercury is an ideal partner given their expansive commercial infrastructure
and successful experience in installing our products over the
past several years. We look forward to working with them to grow
the commercial rooftop solar market on the East Coast."
Under
the terms of the agreement, ECD will sell UNI-SOLAR laminates
to Mercury, and will provide technical training and aid in the
design of future solar PV systems installed by Mercury's team.
Mercury will become a direct integrator of ECD's UNI-SOLAR brand
products, and expects to purchase approximately 15MW of laminates
over the term of the agreement.
Jared
Haines, President, Mercury Solar Systems, said, "We have consistently
been attracted to UNI-SOLAR products because of their flexibility,
light weight, ease of installation, durability, and real-world
performance. They offer the highest kWh per kW installed and are
great for new roof installations especially in high wind areas."
He
added, "Our partnership with ECD is just further validation of
Mercury's unwavering commitment to provide our customers with
the highest quality products at the most affordable prices."
At
less than one pound per square foot, UNI-SOLAR laminates are lightweight,
nonintrusive and require no rooftop penetrations or mounting systems,
eliminating the negative impact on roof life and performance that
is associated with penetrating PV systems. Additionally, these
thin-film PV laminates provide a solid return on investment through
a low installed cost and low cost per-kilowatt-hour of energy
produced when compared to the traditional rigid glass panel PV
alternatives.
