PR Newswire (US)
CARLISLE, Pa., Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Carlisle Energy
Services, a newly formed division of Carlisle Construction
Materials and a leading manufacturer of energy-efficient single-ply
roofing systems, and Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENER)
(ECD), a manufacturer of proprietary, thin-film amorphous
silicon-based photovoltaic (PV) laminates announced that they have
reached a multi-year agreement for ECD to supply its UNI-SOLAR(R)
laminates to Carlisle Energy Services. According to John Altmeyer,
CEO of Carlisle Construction Materials, "UNI-SOLAR(R) products are
a natural fit for both our EPDM and TPO single-ply roof systems and
our extensive network of certified installers, as they can be
readily adhered to the rooftop without the need for special
equipment. Furthermore, these products contain no glass, operate in
low-light situations and offer excellent performance in high
temperatures, allowing Carlisle to offer an ideal solution for
regions where traditional rooftop PV systems have been prohibited
or excluded due to inclement climatic conditions." "As an expert in
rooftops and roofing, Carlisle is an excellent new partner for
Uni-Solar in the United States. We believe the United States
marketplace has excellent growth potential, and we look forward to
growing our U.S. business with Carlisle as we continue to grow our
position as the leader in rooftop and building integrated PV
products," said Mark Morelli, president and CEO of Energy
Conversion Devices. At less than one pound per square foot,
UNI-SOLAR(R) laminates are lightweight and non-intrusive and
require no rooftop penetrations or mounting systems, eliminating
the negative impact on roof life and performance that is associated
with penetrating PV systems. Additionally, these thin-film PV
laminates provide a solid return on investment through a low
installed cost and low cost-per-kilowatt-hour of energy produced
when compared to traditional rigid glass panel PV alternatives.
Carlisle Energy Services will offer a number of services in
conjunction with the sales and distribution of its PV products,
including: complete system design and monitoring, 20-year
single-source warranty on all system components and comprehensive
service options throughout the life of the system. About Carlisle
