Evolution Solar President to Meet with TSU Students Today

Business Wire
Evolution Solar Corp. (PinkSheets:EVSO) President Robert Hines
will travel to Texas Southern University’s campus in Houston today
to prepare students to begin work on the company’s photovoltaic
demonstration project.
Evolution Solar is partnering with TSU to install eight AmpleSun
thin-film photovoltaic panels on the campus that are intended to
serve as a cornerstone of the new Texas Southern University Green
Technology Center. The project will be Evolution Solar’s first
array featuring the AmpleSun panels in the U.S.
Phase I of the construction project, completed two weeks ago,
included the relocation of fencing surrounding TSU’s existing
campus array of solar panels as well as constructing several cement
posts for the new array. In Phase II, three TSU engineering
students will receive course credit to assist in assembling the
array’s rack-mount system and installing the eight solar
panels.
Hines will meet with the students along with Dr. David
Olowokere, the chair of TSU’s department of engineering
technologies, and Corey Robinson, the managing partner of Armstead
Development Group Construction (ADG). ADG served as the general
contractor in charge of construction during Phase I of the
project.
“Today will give me an opportunity to introduce these students
to our goals and objectives at TSU,” Hines said. “This installation
is not only a great opportunity for Evolution Solar to showcase
AmpleSun’s leading-edge thin film panels, but a chance to introduce
generations of students to solar technology, as well.”
The students selected for the project will begin work attaching
the solar array’s rack-mount system to newly constructed posts next
week. When that assembly is completed, they will install the solar
panels themselves.
“We wanted to involve students in the project because we
envision the Green Technology Center at TSU as an educational
playground for these young people,” Hines said. “Not only will it
offer the students hands-on experience with leading-edge
technology, it will also introduce the surrounding community to
green energy and open up funding opportunities for the
university.”
Hines also said that EVSO anticipates that solar demonstrations
such as the TSU project will help the company acquire new projects
in a sector that is growing to compete in the energy industry,
which contains the Southern Company (NYSE: SO), NextEra Energy,
Inc. (NYSE: NEE), Duke Energy Corporation (NYSE: DUK) and BP (NYSE:
BP).
