Solana Beach, Calif.-based Open Energy Corp., a provider of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) roofing materials, has announced a $4.21 million purchase order for its SolarSave PV Tiles from SolarPro International, a solar integrator based in Sacramento, Calif.
Open Energy's building integrated PV tiles will be installed on approximately 375 new single-family residences in the Placer County development, the company says. Homes will be equipped with 2 kW rooftop systems that will provide about half of the total electrical requirements of each property.
‘Kevin Boedecker and his team at SolarPro have done a phenomenal job designing this project and convincing the developer that our SolarSave PV Tiles can help them market properties, as well as generate significant utility savings for their homeowners,’ says David Saltman, CEO of Open Energy.
