WorldWater & Power Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: WWAT), today announced that it has been awarded a bid contract to build and install the first solar electric power generation system for DuPont (NYSE: DD). The photovoltaic (PV) system will provide solar energy for the Photovoltaic Solutions technical laboratory in Wilmington, Delaware. The system will serve as a Photovoltaic Demonstration Unit for DuPont.
The ground-mounted system will produce 40 kilowatts of AC power using four arrays of PV panels. The system will have a touch screen display in the foyer of the main building so that visitors can observe the function and energy output of the system at any time. The contract calls for the installation to be completed before mid January 2006 and to be operational shortly thereafter.
“Photovoltaic power is an excellent option to provide a significant portion of our renewable energy goals,” said Tom Earnest, global venture manager, DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions. “We are very pleased to see the promise of PV power delivered to our own facilities through our relationship with WorldWater & Power.”
Quentin T. Kelly, Chairman and CEO of WorldWater & Power, said, “We applaud DuPont’s commitment to sustainable growth, and we are proud to be part of their crucial first step in using solar energy to meet their goals.”
DuPont is a global supplier of films, resins for encapsulants, encapsulant films and conductive inks for photovoltaic modules, and this system is the first project to use PV power for the company’s own facilities.
