Rooftop solar company Solyndra, Inc. has signed a new long-term sales contract with solar integrator EBITSCHenergietechnik, based in Zapfendorf, Germany.
The Euro-based contract, worth up to $115 million, extends through 2013 and brings Solyndra’s contractual backlog to approximately $1.8 billion. The solar panels for these contracts will be manufactured at Solyndra’s facilities in Fremont and Milpitas, California.
Solyndra’s cylindrical, thin film PV systems are designed to generate electricity on low-slope commercial rooftops, while providing lower installation costs than conventional PV flat panel technologies.
"The photovoltaics market is fast moving, so it is important to keep your eyes open for new products. Solyndra’s solution dramatically changes the model for installation of PV systems, expanding the market by addressing large numbers of industrial rooftops which are not economically viable with other PV technologies," said Horst Ebitsch, founder and managing director of EBITSCHenergietechnik.
Since 1990 EBITSCHenergietechnik GmbH has been designing and installing a wide variety of renewable energy systems, including photovoltaic, solar thermal, combined heat power (CHP) and ecological heating systems. EBITSCH offers a complete end-to-end service, including planning, design, procurement, installation and post-install service, with a focus on quality, reliability and customer satisfaction. Long-term know-how, quality products and a well-trained staff guarantees our customers quality and safety.
Earlier this month Solyndra announced a similar contract with solar integrator SunConnex B.V., based in Amsterdam.
