SunPower and SolarPower launch Israel solar plant

21 December 2009

US-based solar manufacturer SunPower and Israeli solar power system integrator SolarPower have launched a 50KW rooftop mounted solar power system at Hewlett Packard’s Indigo division facility in Kiryat-Gat, Israel.

SolarPower designed and built the system with SunPower solar panels. SunPower has completed more than 550 large solar power systems worldwide, including the recently completed 24MW Montalto solar power plant in Italy

‘By combining SolarPower’s design and construction expertise with SunPower panels, the most efficient solar panels commercially available, HP will maximise the amount of clean solar power generated on the roof,’ said SolarPower joint CEO Alon Tamari.

Howard Wenger, president of global business units, for SunPower said, ‘On four continents, the proven performance of SunPower’s technology has achieved a superior return on investment for our residential, commercial and power plant customers.’

   Finally some major green progress in Israel, after all although it’s a country that is more advanced technologically than most countries it’s green actions are very poor.
