Business Wire
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTI), a developer of
flexible thin-film solar modules, announced today that its BIPV
class of laminates have been installed at the ProLogis (NYSE:PLD)
Rooftop Photovoltaic Test Site located in Denver, Colorado.
ProLogis is a leading global provider of distribution facilities
and has become the first real estate company to develop a dedicated
PV test site.
“We were the first real estate company to develop a program
dedicated to accelerating the deployment of large-scale distributed
solar, and now we are expanding our efforts in this area with a
dedicated test site,” said Walt Rakowich, chief executive officer
of ProLogis. “As PV technologies evolve and new companies enter the
market, it is critical that ProLogis understands the technology and
installation differences to ensure we arrive at the optimal
solutions for our installations at each building and location. We
are proud of the growth of this program and what it means to the
renewable energy industry.”
“This effort by ProLogis is a shining example of what homegrown
companies are doing to promote environmental awareness and clean
energy,” said Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper. “We are pleased the
company chose its Denver headquarters as a test site and partnered
with other local companies on the project. ProLogis is setting the
stage for even greater access to renewable energy in Colorado and
throughout the world.”
Farhad Moghadam, President and CEO of Ascent Solar, stated: “We
commend ProLogis for establishing this test site to open the door
for testing of emerging technologies such as ours in parallel with
other established PV technologies. This important installation for
Ascent Solar will provide us with valuable, real time performance
data that’s critical in setting the stage for our product readiness
in rooftop and building integrated market opportunities.”
The Test Site totals 11 kWp DC of power generation capacity from
99 modules and eight different module manufacturers: Ascent Solar
(NASDAQ: ASTI), First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR), GS-Solar, MiaSole,
Solyndra, Suniva, United Solar Ovonic (NASDAQ: ENER) and Xunlight.
Already generating power, the initial configuration provides
side-by-side comparisons of several module technologies, including
monocrystalline, glass-on-glass thin film and membrane-applied thin
film modules. In addition, the installation contains 16
individually monitored strings, each designed to test a certain
system parameter.
As a part of the Test Site, and in partnership with HatiCon
Solar, ProLogis has designed a new racking system especially for
utility-scale rooftop solar installations. Matt Singleton, vice
president of renewable energy at ProLogis, added: “As a real estate
developer and owner, we seek the most compatible solution for our
rooftop installations, both in terms of structural loads and roof
integrity. This new attached rack design combines standardized,
lightweight aluminum parts with the long-term assurance of a
maintainable and warrantable watertight connection to our
buildings.”
To design and build its Test Site, ProLogis relied on the
products and services provided by several Colorado-based companies,
including: Ascent Solar, Colorado Moisture Control, Inc., Howard
Electric, Inc., S.A. Miro, Inc. and SMA America, LLC.
ProLogis has solar projects installed or under construction on
32 buildings throughout France, Germany, Japan, Spain and the
United States. The installations cover more than 10.6 million
square feet (984,800 square meters) of roof space and total 24.6
MW.
The ProLogis Renewable Energy group was formed in 2009 to
procure new business, manage installations and provide development
services for renewable energy projects globally. ProLogis has more
than 450 million square feet (42 million square meters) of roof
space worldwide available for solar photovoltaic installations.
