    SOLAR INTEGRATED SIGNS NEW MULTI-YEAR SUPPLY AND COOPERATION AGREEMENT WITH UNITED SOLAR OVONIC
    London, UK and Los Angeles, California, May 12, 2008 - Solar Integrated Technologies, Inc. (AIM:SIT.LN), a leading provider of building
integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) roofing systems, today announces that it has entered into a new multi-year supply and cooperation agreement
with United Solar Ovonic LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (ECD) (NASDAQ:ENER). United Solar Ovonic has been
a long-standing supplier of flexible thin-film amorphous photovoltaic laminates to Solar Integrated, most recently under a supply agreement
signed in 2006 that contemplated the purchase of up to 100 MW of UNI-SOLAR® photovoltaic laminates through 2010.  This new supply agreement
expands the scope and supply of UNI-SOLAR® photovoltaic laminates significantly beyond 100 MW and extends the term through December 31,
2012 on a "take or pay" basis.
    The parties have also agreed to collaborate to further reduce product cost over the term of the agreement.  Under the agreement, Solar
Integrated retains certain limited exclusivity rights in the North American market for its BIPV application.  
    "This strategic supply agreement will allow us to focus on profitably growing our business with the confidence of long-term critical
supply of the world's leading flexible thin-film photovoltaic laminates," stated R. Randall MacEwen, President & CEO of Solar Integrated.
"Our customers are increasingly interested in larger projects and long-term supply arrangements.  With the forward visibility we now have on
supply and pricing of UNI-SOLAR® photovoltaic laminates - our key input cost - we are now better positioned to meet the high demand for our
integrated solutions with a lower risk profile to the Company."
    "We have a long-standing relationship with Solar Integrated and are pleased to be extending it through this new agreement," said Mark
Morelli, ECD's president and chief executive officer.  "Solar Integrated leverages the unique characteristics of our UNI-SOLAR® laminates
in its roofing solutions to become a leader in the commercial BIPV segment.  We look forward to continuing to work with Solar Integrated in
the future."
    Randall MacEwen continued: "By integrating UNI-SOLAR® photovoltaic laminates into our BIPV roofing system, we offer our target
customers a highly differentiated product that meets their financial, energy, environmental and roofing needs. We continue to be impressed
with the high quality and reliability of UNI-SOLAR® photovoltaic laminates, as well as the ability of United Solar Ovonic to successfully
ramp its production operations."
