UNI-SOLAR(TM) to Power Rooftop Above the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Cancun, Mexico
30 11월 2010 - 11:58PM
United Solar, a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Conversion
Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENER), today announced the completion and
operation of a solar power project on the rooftop of the Moon
Palace Hotel in Cancun, Mexico, owned by Palace Resorts and host
site for the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
This important global event will attract about 20,000
participants from nations around the world. They will gather in
Cancun from November 29 to December 10, 2010, with the objective of
discussing future commitments to reduce global greenhouse gas
emissions.
The photovoltaic project team for the Moon Palace Hotel was led
by Enel Green Power, one of the leading renewable energy operators
worldwide, with support also from the Italian Ministry of the
Environment and SEMARNAT, the Mexican Environment Ministry.
"Being selected as the solar power provider of choice for this
high-level and important global conference location is a testament
to the quality and unique characteristics of UNI-SOLAR™ modules,"
said Mark Morelli, President and CEO of United Solar's parent
company, Energy Conversion Devices. "We believe that solar power
will continue to play an important role in addressing global
climate change."
The 130 kWp pilot project at the Moon Palace Hotel is capable of
generating 220 MWh of electricity per year contributing to a
reduction of 110 tons of CO2 emissions annually. Enel Green Power
chose UNI-SOLAR™ technology due to its proprietary, thin-film,
lightweight characteristics which stand up to the severe weather
often found in the Gulf of Mexico region.
United Solar and Enel Green Power have cooperated on numerous
projects, including the largest rooftop PV power plant at the
Interporto distribution center in Nola, Italy. This 25 MWp project
on various buildings, is currently being installed by United
Solar's channel partners General Membrane and Ondulit. Another
project between United Solar and Enel Green Power is the 3 MWp
installation on the Marcegaglia factory in Taranto, Italy.
