Innovative solar roofing system gaining traction in European markets
Rochester Hills, Mich - United Solar, a leading global manufacturer of building-integrated and rooftop photovoltaics under its UNI-SOLAR® brand - and a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Conversion Devices (NASDAQ: ENER) - announced that its innovative PowerTilt(TM) solar roof system was recently installed at Hagebaumarkt, a German DIY retail franchise located in Kleve. This project represents another example of United Solar's penetration into the BAPV segment.
"We're committed to providing world-class solutions for the BAPV market that are flexible, cost-effective and easy to install," said Mark Morelli, President and CEO of United Solar's parent company, Energy Conversion Devices. "Advanced technology solutions like PowerTilt will help drive our growth in this exciting market segment."
As the lightest rack-mounted solar system currently available in the marketplace, PowerTilt offers unique product attributes, including a lightweight, durable structure, ease of installation with no roof penetrations and lower levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). In the case of Hagebaumarkt, UNI-SOLAR's PowerTilt solar roof system was directly welded and secured to the roof without penetrations to the roof deck.
