  • Solar Frontier Supplying Zero Energy Nano Building at SUNY Polytechnic
    NEWS RELEASE Solar Frontier Supplying Zero Energy Nano Building at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany, New York CIS modules to become part of “living laboratory” for renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies San Jose, CA－16 December, 2014 － Solar Frontier announced today that it has been selected to supply its CIS thin-film modules to the Zero Energy Nanotechnology (ZEN) building at the State University of New York Polytechnic Institute’s (SUNY Poly) Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE). The Japanese solar energy solutions provider has already initiated the first of a series of deliveries for the ZEN Project. The total project will result in a PV Plant with a capacity of 2.4MW DC. Deliveries are expected to be completed by summer of 2015. The project is part of a $25 million partnership announced in September by CNSE and Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). The partnership will install, commission, test, and demonstrate state-of-the-art technologies that include solar photovoltaics, lighting, fuel cells, and smart building energy management systems. Dr. Pradeep Haldar, Vice President of Entrepreneurship Innovation and Clean Energy Programs at CNSE, said, “In support of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s high-tech vision driving New York State to become a leader in advanced research and clean technologies, the ZEN building will serve as a platform to demonstrate how leading-edge, clean-tech systems enable greater energy savings in buildings. For this pioneering effort we have selected Solar Frontier’s CIS modules as one of the technologies to help get us there.” The 356,000 square-foot ZEN building, which is currently under construction at the state-of-the-art $20 billion Albany NanoTech Complex, will be one of the largest net zero energy buildings in the world, and will serve as a “living laboratory” for renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.

As the initial version, we recognize this document does not include some excellent programs already in existence. You can help us make this document more complete. If you see a program that interests you: Call or email the contact person and explore ways to collaborate or learn from their experiences.

As a member of the TVHS community we accept my role in promoting these qualities, as follows: ○ In order to promote Trust, we will honor others’ privacy, fulfill my obligations to others in this community, and strive to support their success. ○ In order to promote Respect, we will work hard, and try to be patient, understanding and considerate of myself and others because we understand that nobody is perfect and that mistakes and missteps are part of the learning process. ○ In order to promote Responsibility, we will take an active role in our own learning, and help others do the same; we will hold others accountable for their part, and encourage them to do the same; we will take as much interest in the good of my community as we take in ourselves. ○ In order to promote Stewardship, knowing that we have an obligation to those who will come after me, we will care for our space and our learning tools so that they will know the pride we took in our school, and so they will have the same opportunities that we had.
