04 8월 2011 - 11:11PM
United Solar, a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Conversion
Devices, Inc. (ECD) (Nasdaq:ENER) and a leading global manufacturer
of light-weight, flexible thin-film solar modules, announces the
completion of the the SolarShare WaterView Project, one of the
largest rooftop solar installations in the Greater Toronto Area.
This solar installation is located on the roof of the Daimler Buses
North America Ltd. manufacturing facility near Lake Ontario in
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
The 438 kilowatt (kW) solar project is owned by the SolarShare
Renewable Energy Co-operative and consists of 3,040 UNI-SOLAR®
brand PowerTilt® photovoltaic modules. United Solar channel partner
Advanced Green Technologies (AGT) was responsible for the
installation. This installation is the largest of 18 solar power
installations that make up the SolarShare Co-operative portfolio,
totaling over 600 kW of solar power capacity.
The project was officially completed on July 7th with a
ribbon-cutting ceremony taking place on July 6th. Attendees
included Mississauga's Mayor, Hazel McCallion, Ontario Government's
Minister of Labor, Charles Sousa, along with representatives from
SolarShare, United Solar, Daimler Bus, and AGT. Attendees were
taken on tours to view the technology and construction of the solar
project.
"This landmark event is a precedent‐setting example of community
and commercial collaboration in clean energy development," stated
Mike Brigham, President of SolarShare and Chair of the TREC
Renewable Energy Co‐operative. "The WaterView project has brought
together cutting‐edge technology, industry‐leading design and local
human resources in a project that allows residents in Mississauga
and across the province to invest in, and benefit from, clean solar
power."
"United Solar is proud to be a part of this important and unique
Ontario rooftop solar project, partnering with TREC SolarShare as
system owner and Daimler Buses as site host. We have deployed our
innovative PowerTilt system, which enables a high yield output from
the solar array while limiting weight and impact to the roof
structure. We expect this to be the first of many UNI-SOLAR systems
on large commercial and institutional rooftops throughout Ontario,"
said Christopher Bala, United Solar's Vice President of Sales,
Americas Central Region.
