Multi-Rooftop BIPV Project Highlights UNI-SOLAR
Product Advantages in France
Partnership With Valsolar and Soprema Critical to
Project Success
United Solar, a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Conversion
Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENER) and a leading global manufacturer of
lightweight, flexible thin-film solar laminates, today announced
that its UNI-SOLAR brand photovoltaics (PV) are powering the
recently completed 570 kWp solar power plant atop the Nice Saint
Isidore Eco-vallee Business Park in the city of Nice, France. The
site, owned by the Nice Cote d'Azur Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (CCI), is four buildings with a total of 9,000 m2 of roof
area fitted with UNI-SOLAR PV. The Nice CCI is converting the site
into the region's first green energy producer. This PV installation
generates clean, renewable solar energy while reducing the site's
carbon footprint. Indeed the yearly production of 650,000 kWh is
enough to power 260 French homes and saves 6,165 tons of CO2
emissions.

Valsolar, a leading provider of PV solutions in the Cote d'Azur
market with more than 30,000 m2 of rooftop experience, was selected
to construct the project. Valsolar was responsible for installing
PV while ensuring that the building was waterproof and providing
financing for the project.
In partnership with waterproof building materials manufacturer
Soprema, Valsolar opted for the SopraSolar product which uses
UNI-SOLAR's flexible thin-film laminates bonded to a Soprema
membrane substrate. UNI-SOLAR products are ideally suited for
applications on roofs with low lift and low slope to which
traditional glass-based PV panels cannot fit. In addition, the
SopraSolar solution provides optimal sealing functionality for the
roof. With this new seal, the roof takes advantage of a new 10-year
guarantee.
"This multi-rooftop project highlights the unique capabilities
of the UNI-SOLAR product for building-integrated applications,"
said Ted Amyuni, President-EMEA of United Solar. "Our UNI-SOLAR
laminates are flexible, lightweight and durable, and can be
integrated into any architecture while ensuring the waterproofing
function of the roof. We look forward to continued success in the
French BIPV market with partners like Soprema and Valsolar."
