EPV Solar, Inc., based in Hamilton, a thin-film solar module manufacturer and technology developer formerly known as Energy Photovoltaics, announced that it has entered into a long-term solar module supply agreement with unlimited energy GmbH, Berlin, Germany.
Under the terms of the contract, EPV SOLAR will supply 306 megawatts of amorphous silicon modules to unlimited energy for use in the development and build-out of several solar parks in Europe. EPV will begin shipments against this contract during the first quarter of 2008. Initial shipments will come from EPV’s New Jersey locations and shift to it’s Senftenberg, Germany, plant scheduled to come online during the fourth quarter of 2008.
Dietmar Käsch, managing director of unlimited energy, stated in a release: “We selected EPV Solar as our partner for these large installations due to the benefits of amorphous silicon technology, particularly its very competitive cost and excellent performance. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with EPV as we grow our energy business in Europe.”
”We are proud to announce EPV Solar’s first multi-hundred megawatt contract,” stated Scott T. Massie, chief executive officer of EPV Solar. “The environmental benefits of solar energy are critical to addressing the global warming challenge facing all of us. The electricity generated as a result of the deployment and use of the PV modules we will sell to unlimited energy will avoid the annual emission of nearly 400,000 metric tons of CO2 that would result if the electricity were generated by coal-fired power plants,” Mr. Massie stated.
