✦ Synopsis

Spire-NREL partner

Spire will share the cost of US$5.2 million with the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to develop automated manufacturing processes for PV modules as large as 10 x 8 feet, or five times the size of current standard modules. The three-year research contract will yield modules rated at 1,000 watts and are designed for use in contaminated land sites (industrial brownfields) to become 'Solar Brightfields.' w ww ww w. .s sp pi ir re es so ol la ar r. .c co om m w ww ww w. .n nr re el l. .g go ov v
