UNI-SOLAR laminates power 2.1 MW Marcegaglia Casalmaggiore PV plant in Italy

ROCHESTER HILLS, USA: Energy Conversion Devices Inc. (ECD) announced that its UNI-SOLAR brand light weight thin film photovoltaic laminates were used on the new Marcegaglia Casalmaggiore photovoltaic (PV) power station.

This is one of the largest rooftop solar installations in Italy and has a capacity of 2.1 megawatts, enough energy to power 800 houses with a savings of 1113 tons on CO2 annually.

Mark Morelli, ECD's president and CEO, said: "We were pleased to work with Marcegaglia on this large-scale project and the Brollo Solar product was an excellent fit for the low-pitch industrial rooftop.

"It integrates UNI-SOLAR laminates into Marcegaglia's corrugated insulated panel and provides the functionality of an insulated roof with a fully integrated solar solution that is installed in one simple step, saving both time and money and providing an excellent cost/revenue ratio for the system owner."
