The company said that the 3MW building integrated rooftop solar systems will be designed, developed and installed by Suntech’s in-house system integration team.
Zhengrong Shi, Suntech’s chairman and CEO, said: “Building integrated solar systems, which turn common building materials such as rooftops and facades into power generators are a logical step for the urban environment.”
Earlier in the first week of December 2008, Suntech and Open Energy Corporation announced that they have entered into an agreement licensing the worldwide manufacture, distribution and marketing of Open Energy’s building integrated solar roof tile product to Suntech. Open Energy granted Suntech an license of the intellectual property incorporated into its solar roof tile product and any similar or new generation tile roof products. The solar roof tiles are 50 watt four foot BIPV tiles and are available in different color panels.
Suntech is engaged in the design and manufacture of solar energy services. It has sales offices and installation partners in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
