According to a company official, the award was in recognition of the development and successful installation of one of Connecticut's first rooftop tracking solar power systems, completed by OPEL Solar in March 2009. The system generates 131 Kilowatts (kW) of electricity to the Linden Elementary School in Plainville, Connecticut.
"The direct payment by the U.S. Treasury Department broadens OPEL Solar's ability to fund new solar projects that will create new jobs and will make inroads for clean solar energy," said Mike McCoy, CFO of OPEL Solar, Inc. "Our investments in other solar power projects also will contribute to continued growth of the U.S. economy."
OPEL Solar also had been awarded a grant by the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund ("CCEF") for the Linden Elementary School power system. The Plainville, CT solar power installation supplies clean energy for up to 20 percent of the school's electrical power needs. It features OPEL Solar's innovative Sequoia solar tracker system (patent pending). The Sequoia design, which was inspired by the root system of the Sequoia Trees, is a non-penetrating roof design that allows for simple installation and easy disassembly for necessary maintenance.
OPEL Solar, Inc. is a subsidiary of OPEL International Inc. (TSX VENTURE: OPL).
