ECD Bags Rooftop Solar Project In Portland

EBR Staff Writer Published 04 March 2010

Energy Conversion Devices (ECD), a manufacturer of thin-film flexible solar laminate products, has been selected by ProLogis and Portland General Electric (PGE) to deliver 2.4MW of Uni-Solar laminates for installation on seven ProLogis distribution warehouses in Portland, Gresham and Clackamas in Oregon.

This rooftop solar installation is ECD's second project with ProLogis and PGE. The new project will use the same type of UNI-SOLAR light weight and flexible solar laminates that were featured on the previous 1.1MW rooftop project that ProLogis and PGE brought online in 2008. The solar power systems will be installed by Northwest Solar on rooftops leased from ProLogis.

Drew Torbin, vice president of renewable energy at ProLogis, said: "We are pleased to again be working with both Energy Conversion Devices and PGE. Once completed, the 906,000sqft project will become the largest rooftop solar system in the Pacific Northwest."

Mark Morelli, president and CEO of ECD, said: "This announcement is another indication that we are gaining traction as we transition our business model to focus on large-scale, multi-rooftop projects. We have worked with ProLogis on projects in France and Spain, and we are always pleased to do repeat business with this valued customer. We look forward to completing this installation for PGE and working with ProLogis on many more projects."

ECD is engaged in building integrated and commercial rooftop photovoltaics. The company manufactures and sells thin-film solar laminates that convert sunlight to energy using proprietary technology.
