Uni-Solar awarded contract for largest farm solar system in country

United Solar Ovonic will install a 1.1 megawatt Uni-Solar solar energy system at Paramount Farms, Inc., the world's largest vertically-integrated pistachio and almond grower. The amorphous thin film panels that are a Uni-Solar innovation will thus power the largest solar energy system at a farm as well as one of the largest private energy systems in the country.

Excerpt:

"SolarCraft chose the Uni-Solar product for this project based on the high production performance in very hot, dusty and low-light environments, as well as the capability for SolarCraft to design a virtually indestructible and theft-proof ground-mounted solar energy plant," said Chris Bunas, vice president of SolarCraft[, the system's installer]. "This is a perfect product in the California valley agricultural industry and many other areas that we are currently looking at. We look forward to a continued relationship with Uni-Solar."
