United Solar Supplies Solar Cells to GP(R) Solar Under New Open Solar(TM) Initiative
18 10월 2011 - 9:00PM
United Solar, a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Conversion
Devices, Inc. (ECD) (Nasdaq:ENER) and a leading global manufacturer
of lightweight, flexible thin-film solar modules, today announced a
new customer relationship under their Open Solar™ initiative with
GP Solar, a GP® Batteries company of Hong Kong, and an initial
order of 600 kilowatts (kW) of UNI-SOLAR® photovoltaic (PV) cells.
United Solar initiated the Open Solar program to drive
wide-scale acceptance of its UNI-SOLAR PV technology, and the
integration of its laminates and cells seamlessly and cost
effectively into everyday applications. GP Solar is deploying
UNI-SOLAR PV technology with the introduction of its unique GP
Solar Charger. The Solar Charger combines UNI-SOLAR PV cells with
GP Solar's Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries,
produced under license from ECD's Ovonic Battery Company.
Andrew Ng, Chairman and Chief Executive of GP Batteries
International Limited, said, "We are very pleased with our new
partnership with United Solar, and we believe this working
relationship will strengthen GP's product portfolio as well as
better promote green energy to the world."
"United Solar is excited to expand our commercial relationship
with GP Solar with this order," said Chris Bala, Vice President of
Sales, and Open Solar program lead. "We expect this is just the
beginning of a long and mutually successful relationship with GP
Solar, leveraging our mutual strengths in solar technology
development and commercialization of consumer electronics."
UNI-SOLAR's unique, triple-junction, thin-film cell architecture
produces more real-world power then competitive products,
differentiating products like the GP Solar Charger from the
competition. Additional Open Solar products include building
integrated PV (BIPV) roofing, solar-powered military shelters, and
solar-powered consumer bags and chargers. United Solar will be
exhibiting at booth #2135 during Solar Power International 2011 in
Dallas this week.
United Solar, with more than 25 years experience in the solar
industry, is the largest manufacturer of light weight, flexible
solar panels in the world, and has been awarded nearly 70 United
States patents for various technological advancements. For more
