United Solar Ovonic's Second Installation for GM AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Solar Ovonic, a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENER), announced today that it has been selected for one of the largest solar power installations in corporate use. Uni-Solar PV solar panels will be installed on the roof of the GM facility in Fontana, California. When completed in December, the installation will produce 1.3 million kilowatt hours of electricity a year, roughly the amount needed to power 500 homes for one year. The Fontana solar array will be installed atop GM's 300,000 square foot warehouse facility. This installation follows United Solar Ovonic's similar- sized installation at another GM facility in Rancho Cucamonga. Subhendu Guha, President of United Solar Ovonic, said: "This is our second installation for GM after the 1MW solar installation in Rancho Cucamonga. We are gratified, of course, that UNI-SOLAR(R) panels are the product of choice for GM and for a growing list of corporations advancing the increased use of renewable energy." "At General Motors we understand that good environmental decisions are good business decisions and solar energy is a perfect example of this," said Elizabeth A. Lowery, GM vice president, Environment, Energy and Safety Policy. "The new solar arrays on our rooftops are reducing our energy costs and carbon footprint, while providing green energy to the community." Constellation Energy Projects & Services Group, a division of Constellation Energy, will own and operate the rooftop system and provide power to the GM facility under a 25-year power purchase agreement.
