Diesel Turns to Solar Integrated / UNI-SOLAR(R) for Green Solutions on New Headquarters
30 8월 2010 - 9:00PM
Diesel is well known for its bold marketing and top-brand line of
clothing– but also important to Diesel is its goal of successful
living through environmental corporate responsibility. That's where
Diesel turned to Solar Integrated, a solar energy systems provider
and affiliate of United Solar, the leading global manufacturer of
UNI-SOLAR brand flexible thin-film photovoltaic laminates. The 198
kWp producing rooftop is now installed and on the power grid at
Diesel's headquarters in Breganze, Italy.
Solar Integrated acted as the system's engineering, procuring,
and construction (EPC) contractor and installed its proprietary
SolarRoof membrane, consisting of a heavy duty TPO roofing membrane
combined with UNI-SOLAR photovoltaic laminates. The SolarRoof
system highlights a double-protective layer for water-proofing and
was chosen for this application to utilize key product
characteristics of being very flexible, lightweight, durable and
reliable. The SolarRoof product blends with the building's
unique architecture – plus it provides a faster return on
investment with the opportunity for Diesel to lower its energy
consumption in a non-obtrusive manner. Solar Integrated and United
Solar are wholly owned subsidiaries of Energy Conversion Devices
(Nasdaq:ENER).
Diesel's company headquarters is a bold contemporary design,
built with a very good energy rating and a top goal to reduce
energy consumption. The SolarRoof Membrane featuring UNI-SOLAR
photovoltaic laminates were the perfect fit for maintaining the
architectural integrity of the Diesel building's sleek design - due
to their high energy output under varying daylight conditions with
extremely lightweight and flexible thin-film characteristics.
"Like many UNI-SOLAR applications around the globe, Diesel's
headquarters required a seamlessly-integrated solar solution in
which the laminates would blend in perfectly with the modern design
of the building," said Mark Morelli, President and CEO of Energy
Conversion Devices. "UNI-SOLAR's low-load, low-profile flexible
laminates will not only maintain the architectural design of the
Diesel headquarters from the ground, but also look good to those
guests that may arrive by air – all while generating electrical
power and reducing Diesel's carbon footprint."
Partnering with Solar Integrated on the large project were:
general contractor Carron Cav. Angelo S.p.A of San Zenone, Italy,
which also deals in real estate; project manager Jacobs Italia
S.p.A. with offices in 26 countries around the globe; and roofing
contractor Isocaf S.L.R of Vigonza, Italy.
