Auburn Hills MI (SPX) Apr 28, 2011 United Solar has announced the completion of a 1.1 megawatt (MW) solar power system on the rooftop of a logistics center in Marignane, France. The facility will be used by Eurocopter, a subsidiary of EADS, a world leader in defense, aerospace and related services, and DAHER, an integrated equipment and services supplier. The solar installation will cover the 46,500 square meter warehouse and will provide enough power for 2,250 local residents with a carbon offset of more than 873 metric tons per year. The building was built to the new HQE (high environmental quality) standard in France by BARJANE, a developer of business parks and logistics sites in France, who will own and manage the building and its rooftop solar system. BARJANE chose the UNI-SOLAR solution due to its very light weight (3.8kg/m2), the ability to lay the solar panels flat directly onto the waterproofing membrane, all this while producing a higher rating of 1,239kWh/kWp compared to alternative solutions. The UNI-SOLAR laminates were bonded to a waterproof membrane by Derbigum, a United Solar channel partner, to form their DERBISOLAR PV product. "This is another example of the strength of the partnership between United Solar and Derbigum, and our ability to provide solar solutions for blue-chip customers to meet their energy, environmental and social responsibility needs," said Ted Amyuni, President-EMEA, United Solar. United Solar has more than 25 years experience in the industry of solar power generation, and is the largest manufacturer of lightweight flexible solar panels in the world.

Many of these critiques come at this conversation from a pro "free market" perspective. While I agree with many on the value of the free market, I'm often amazed by how little understood the energy market is. The world energy markets and the US energy markets are anything but free: e ... read more |
