Sanditon Investment Share Discussion Threads

is it just me or was the last order announcement just a rewording of one earlier about a large italian order? the rns doesnt say that its a new contract just that its using a different product.

the drop is justified in my opinion now that they are not making enough margin on the sales to cover all expenses and every year need new shares issued to cover working capital it shouldn't have a mcap of £63m.

with the economy slowing down even with high energy costs businesses may not have enough spare cash to invest in solar products that they could before, more for pr than the actual energy savings, so more contracts may become harder to get.

read about some product that M.I.T have developed that can be used in the building of windows to focus the suns energy hitting the windows onto the solar collectors along the edges making it much more efficient, now if sit could get a contract to install that along with a roof it would be a much more attractive company, should be out in 4 years though

Don't know - but is a bit of a wind up.... Starting to wonder if I have backed the wrong horse in this sector.

Product Launch (Solar Integratedtech)




RNS Number : 7309Y
Solar Integrated Technologies Inc
10 July 2008



SOLAR INTEGRATED EXPANDS PRODUCT OFFERING WITH LAUNCH OF METAL ROOFING PRODUCT
London, UK and Los Angeles, California, July 10, 2008 - Solar Integrated Technologies,
Inc. (AIM: SIT.LN), a leading provider of
building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) roofing systems, today announces the launch of its new
M2* product specifically designed for metal
roofing applications. Solar Integrated has received M2* orders totaling more than US$8
million scheduled for delivery in 2008, including an
initial order for US$2.4 million from Fiorini Impianti, a major player in the Italian electric
utility industry.
The M2* product is made of flexible thin film photovoltaic laminates, the same as are used
in Solar Integrated's core BIPV product,
which are adhered to lightweight metal substrates for easy and rapid installation directly
onto metal roofs, carports and other suitable
structures.
"Our market strategy is to be the trusted solar roofing partner for our customers by
providing solar roofing systems that meet their
financial, energy, roofing and environmental objectives across their full portfolio of large
scale buildings," stated R. Randall MacEwen,
President & CEO of Solar Integrated. "The initial interest shown in our M2* product
demonstrates the market need for a 'no compromise'
approach to solar roofing systems for metal roofing applications."
Fiorini Bassi, President of Fiorini Impianti srl, stated: "Solar Integrated's M2* was
chosen as it allows us to install a superior
photovoltaic system on a metal roof that qualifies for the premium BIPV Feed-in-Tariff in
Italy. The system is also simple to incorporate
and, importantly, doesn't compromise the roofing integrity. Solar Integrated's M2* was exactly
what we were looking for." (For more
information about Fiorini Impianti srl, please visit www.versilsolar.com.)
Bart van Ouytsel, Vice President Sales & Marketing - Solar Integrated Europe, added: "We
are pleased that our innovations to provide
the market with high quality integrated solutions have been well accepted by our customers.
The Fiorini Impianti project is the first major
M2* installation in Italy and there is plenty of potential for additional applications. There
is a large addressable market in Europe for
our M2* product, particularly in Italy and Spain with an estimated 16 million m² of
commercial metal roofs."
The typical M2* product configuration will feature two UNI-SOLAR® flexible amorphous
silicon photovoltaic laminates with a rated peak
output of up to 288 watts adhered to a profiled aluminum-zinc coated steel sheet with a length
of 5.6 m, a width of 0.87 m and a sheet
thickness of 0.8 mm. With a weight of only 9 kg/m2, the lightweight M2* product is well suited
for most metal roofing applications,
including new construction, re-roofing and retrofit for flat and contoured roofs, with no
additional roofing structural requirements. The
M2* is fastened to the metal roof with self-drilling screws and a butyl sealing tape. The M2*
product expands Solar Integrated's product
portfolio without impacting current production output of the Company's core BIPV product from
its Los Angeles manufacturing facility, with
initial assembly operations of the M2* at Solar Integrated's European office in Mainz,
Germany.
UNI-SOLAR® laminates offer superior cost-effective solutions for roofing applications
because they are lightweight, durable, flexible,
can be integrated directly with building materials, and generate more energy in real world
conditions. The laminates are supplied by United
Solar Ovonic LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENER).
About Solar Integrated:
