CARLISLE, Pa. - Carlisle Energy Services, a newly formed
division of Carlisle Construction Materials and a manufacturer of
energy-efficient single-ply roofing systems, and Energy Conversion Devices,
Inc., 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
laminates to Carlisle Energy Services.
John Altmeyer, CEO of Carlisle Construction Materials, said UNI-SOLAR products
are a natural fit for both our EPDM and TPO single-ply roof systems.
“They can be readily adhered to the rooftop without the need
for special equipment,” Altmeyer said. “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.”
Mark Morelli, president and CEO of Energy Conversion
Devices, said 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,” Morelli said.
At less than one pound per square foot, UNI-SOLAR 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. For more information, visitwww.Carlisle-syntec.com.
