EVSO to Send 2 PV Solar Panels to North Carolina Demo

Evolution Solar Corp. (Pink Sheets: EVSO) announced today that it will send two cutting-edge solar panels to North Carolina as part of the company’s efforts to enhance the green technology curriculum at Barber-Scotia College’s energy institute.

Last week, Evolution Solar signed a partnering agreement with GENNX Technologies, Inc. and Barber-Scotia College (BSC) to help improve GENNX-Tech’s Green IT and Technology Program at the school. Plans center on the creation of a solar demonstration project planned for the BSC campus in Concord, N.C. BSC students will gain valuable hands-on training by helping to install an array of high-efficiency solar panels designed to help reduce energy costs on the campus.

Students will be able to begin familiarizing themselves with leading-edge photovoltaic technology when Evolution Solar ships two AmpleSun thin-film PV panels to BSC this week.

“Barber-Scotia students will be assisting with the construction and installation of this solar demonstration project, and these advanced AmpleSun panels will prove to be invaluable teaching tools,” said Robert Hines, President of Evolution Solar. “We jumped at the chance to participate in this project because it presents the perfect opportunity to introduce the next generation of green-energy professionals to the next generation of photovoltaic solar technology.”

According to the agreement announced last week, Evolution Solar will supply the solar panels and accessory equipment — including rack-mount system, power inverter, control box and wiring mechanisms — necessary for the training installation. GENNX technicians, BSC students and interns will assist with the demonstration’s construction and completion.

“GENNX Technologies is excited about the partnership with Evolution Solar,” said GENNX-Tech President Karen Soares. “We believe that strategic alignments such as this will serve as a guided force for participants engaging in and seeking energy-related careers. Upon completion of our Solar Energy and other “Green” courses, students will have the skills and experience necessary to become certified in their chosen green disciplines.”

BSC is providing the real estate for the demo project in order to enhance the school’s solar curriculum and market the Barber-Scotia College Energy Institute. The college plans to seek a net metering agreement with its local energy provider in hopes of one day selling energy produced by the solar installation back to the power grid.

“Barber-Scotia College shares in GENNX Technologies’ excitement in partnership with Evolution Solar,” Soares said. “As a committed third partner, the college will strive to uphold the high standards of excellence and service provided in this partnership, helping to meet the ever changing challenges of the global economy of the 21st century.”

Hines said that EVSO anticipates that solar demonstrations such as the BSC project should help Evolution Solar acquire new business in a sector that is growing to compete in the energy industry, which includes First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR), Penn West Energy (NYSE: PWE), Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY) and Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX).
