Solyndra, Inc., a manufacturer of innovative photovoltaic (PV) systems for commercial rooftops, announced it has signed a new multi-year framework agreement worth up to $105 million with solar integrator Sun System S.p.A., based in Milan, Italy. The solar panels for this Euro-based agreement will be manufactured at Solyndra’s facilities in Fremont and Milpitas, California.
"As a company focused on cost, performance and reliability, we are very happy to announce this partnership. Solyndra’s technology sets a new standard of performance on commercial rooftops compared to conventional PV technologies in terms of installation cost, rooftop loading, non-penetrating wind performance, and energy production per roof," states Dr. Davide Scarantino, CEO of Sun System. "Solyndra´s innovative cylindrical module geometry and fast and easy mounting technology are leading the way toward a clean energy future," added Dr. Domenico Ruggeri, Technical Director of Sun System.
In September 2009 Sun System (www.sunsystem.it) installed large systems with Solyndra (www.solyndra.com) panels at Tessitura Uboldi, a company located in Northern Italy.
In September 2009, Solyndra also began construction of its second solar panel manufacturing plant, which is designed to produce 500 megawatts (MW) per year.
