ENER Accretion Acquisition Corporation

Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (ECD) (Nasdaq:ENER) today announced that its United Solar Ovonic subsidiary was selected to install flexible light weight UNI-SOLAR® brand solar photovoltaic laminates on mutiple logistics buildings operated by Lidl, a European discount supermarket chain that operates more than 8,000 stores.

Specific terms of the multi-rooftop project were not disclosed. For the first phase of the project, a total of 3.0MW of UNI-SOLAR laminates were installed on Lidl logistics centers in Cambrai, Vars, and Les Arcs in France.

Mark Morelli, ECD's president and CEO, said, "These installations for Lidl are another example of the unique and differentiated solution that UNI-SOLAR offers to our customers, and how our evolving business model continues to gain traction. Lidl was seeking a building-integrated solar solution that was light weight, and did not penetrate the roofing membrane.  To meet these demands, Derbigum integrated our UNI-SOLAR laminates into a lightweight, durable and waterproof BIPV roofing membrane called DERBISOLAR®.  Through our close partnership with Derbigum, we created and installed the right solution for Lidl."

Derbigum chooses to use UNI-SOLAR laminates in its BIPV solar roofing products because they are light, flexible, require no perforation to the roofing membrane, have excellent performance in diffuse light, and are highly damage resistant since the solar cells are encapsulated inside a polymer laminate rather than being concealed beneath glass.
