UNI-SOLAR's Power Family of Products -- Highlight of Solar Power International 10
12 10월 2010 - 10:00PM
United Solar, a leading global manufacturer of building-integrated
and rooftop photovoltaics under its UNI-SOLAR® brand – and parent
company Energy Conversion Devices (Nasdaq:ENER) – are celebrating
their 25th and 50th anniversaries, respectively, by highlighting
their complete family of products for commercial and residential
rooftops at Solar Power International 10.
Two of UNI-SOLAR's four solar rooftop products – PowerTilt™ and
PowerShingle™ – are new to the marketplace in just the past three
months with the latter making its debut at the show. When combining
the solar options of PowerBond™ and PowerMembrane™, UNI-SOLAR
boasts a full suite of products that can be installed on virtually
any roof in the world – commercial or residential.
The main benefit of each product is that they start with
UNI-SOLAR's industry-leading lightweight, flexible, low-profile and
durable solar laminates, with the fastest payback in the
industry.
"We are very proud of our half-century history of innovation and
our longstanding commitment to an industry that's in some ways
still in its infancy, with a bright future ahead," said Mark
Morelli, President and CEO of UNI-SOLAR's parent company, Energy
Conversion Devices.
The newest member of the UNI-SOLAR Power Family is the
revolutionary PowerShingle – the first-ever, UL-approved,
standard-production residential solar module roof shingle available
for the U.S. photovoltaic marketplace. The product replaces the
need for heavy, bulky and unattractive frames on the residential
roof with a design that fits the low-profile, visually-aesthetic
needs of homeowners, drastically improving the marketplace outlook
for what is anticipated to be a wider scale acceptance of solar on
residential roofs.
UNI-SOLAR's extremely lightweight and very flexible laminates
allowed UNI-SOLAR engineers the ability to integrate solar into
laminates that are designed to look like asphalt shingles. The
PowerShingle product features laminates that are glass-free and
encapsulated in UV-stabilized, weather-resistant polymers that hold
up against Category 3 hurricane winds, hail and other heavy impacts
– while continuing to provide excellent performance and protection
for the inside of the home.
On the commercial side, UNI-SOLAR's PowerTilt – designed with a
15 percent tilt to optimize an already high-performing technology
by 10-20% – is ideal for low-load bearing roofs, can be installed
without costly structural roof reinforcements, is glass-free and
encapsulated in UV-stabilized, weather-resistant polymers. It too
holds up against high-winds, hail and impacts. UNI-SOLAR brand
laminates are also the solar industry's top performing product at
absorbing energy in low-light situations.
At less than two pounds per square foot, PowerTilt is easy to
handle. Attachment options facilitate installation onto a variety
of roofing materials. The UNI-SOLAR PowerTilt assembly is also easy
to remove and replace for re-roofing.
PowerBond is the longest serving UNI-SOLAR product in the
current Power Family lineup. With no substructure needed – a top
design characteristic of architects everywhere – PowerBond is the
lightest solar product on the market. It maintains the aesthetic
integrity of a variety of roof pitches, style and curves and can be
applied to various new or existing roofs with seamless blending due
to its very flexible nature.
With its peel-and-stick adhesive backing, PowerBond does not
require any roof penetrations, therefore lowering installation
costs and providing a higher rate of return on investment. It
out-performs other solar choices due to its low-light, high-heat
and shadow-tolerant performance.
PowerMembrane has all the same attributes as PowerBond, but is
further processed and adhered to a roofing membrane. This allows
roofing contractors and architects to use the adhesive and
substrate of their choice based on their application need.
