Advent Solar(R) Reaches Agreements to Ship 250MW of Ventura(TM) Solar Modules With European Partners
VALENCIA, Spain, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- European Union Photovoltaic Solar
Energy Conference -- Advent Solar, Inc., a manufacturer of innovative solar
cells and modules, today announced that it has reached a key milestone in the
company's rapid growth strategy. Enerpoint, MHH Solartechnik and SunConnex
have agreed to purchase and distribute Advent Solar(R) Ventura(TM) Technology,
the solar industry's only comprehensive cell-to-module solar architecture.
Under this agreement, Advent Solar and its European partners will deploy over
250 megawatts (MW) of Ventura-based solutions inEurope through 2013.
"Advent Solar is focused on helping the solar industry move closer to grid
parity by providing innovative solar solutions that maximize efficiency and
increase energy output," said Peter Green, president and CEO of Advent Solar.
"Our partnerships with Enerpoint, MHH Solartechnik and SunConnex are key
elements of our long-term growth strategy inEurope and demonstrate our
commitment to moving solar energy from an alterative technology to a
mainstream solution."
Advent Solar will provide solar solutions based on Ventura Solar
Technology through its relationships with established European solar
installers, integrators and distributors, including:
-- Enerpoint S.p.A.: a leading photovoltaic (PV) company, based inMilan,
Italy, and active since 2001 in the distribution of highly selected and
qualified components for PV systems towards installers and investors.
Enerpoint is also specialized in engineering, procurement and contracting of
high power PV systems for investors.
-- MHH Solartechnik GmbH: a systems integrator based inGermany. MHH
Solartechnik supports all phases of PV projects from planning and yield
optimization to actual on-site implementation. The company conducts business
inAustria,France,Germany,Greece,Italy,Spain, andSwitzerland.
-- SunConnex B.V.: a PV-focused distributor based inAmsterdam, the
Netherlands. SunConnex supports their partners with a multinational team of
specialists who have experience with multi-MW installations, on-grid and off-
grid projects, and building integrated systems throughoutEurope and overseas.
"By extending our existing relationships with Enerpoint, MHH Solartechnik
and SunConnex inEurope to include solutions based on Advent Solar Ventura
Technology, we are expanding the adoption of innovative solar technology into
the European market," said Naresh Baliga, vice president of marketing for
Advent Solar. "These partnerships will help us drive growth in the main
countries deploying photovoltaic solar solutions, such asGermany,Italy and
Spain, as well as emerging markets throughoutEurope."
Advent Solar launched Ventura Technology at the 2008 European Union
Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference inValencia, Spain. Ventura Solar
Technology provides a system-level design approach by combining Emitter-Wrap
Through (EWT) back-contact cells with semiconductor device manufacturing
methods to create a highly scalable platform for module manufacturing. Ventura
Technology enables Advent Solar to develop solar cells and modules that
deliver high energy output by optimizing silicon light capture, and
dramatically improving cell and module-level connectivity to minimize
resistive losses. The architecture provides higher cell-to-module efficiency,
while using thinner silicon wafers to reduce costs.
Advent Solar will provide additional information regarding Ventura
Technology and its recently extended partnerships at booth 4/C 12 during the
European Union Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference.
