1 M.C. Dean, Inc. Baltimore, Maryland M.C. Dean, Inc. Baltimore, MD Project Type: Solar-Integrated Roofing System System Size: kw Completion: January 2011 Pfister Energy of Baltimore, LLC teamed up with Kinsley Construction to install a solarintegrated roofing system on a 200-year-old building, which is adjacent to the Baltimore Ravens Stadium. The project incorporated several renewable energy technologies. First, Pfister replaced the existing roof with a premium Firestone two-ply modified bitumen roofing system to create a watertight barrier for the life of the solar system (25+ years). Following that, Pfister installed a thin-film solar array that fully adhered to the roof membrane ( kw(dc) Uni-Solar PV and kw(dc) of Trina Solar PV). The remainder of the roof was coated with white elastomeric to reduce heat transfer into the building, thus achieving a solar integrated roofing system. The new roof is expected to produce 76,954 kwh per year and more than 1.7 million kwh over a 25-year period, which will significantly reduce electric costs.

2 st Avenue st Avenue Flushing, NY Project Type: Solar-Integrated Roofing System System Size: kw Completion: February 2009 The installed system is a truly solar integrated roofing system in that it is applied as an integral part of the roof system. The flexible, lightweight, Uni-Solar Photovoltaic Laminates are applied directly to the surface of the roofing system. The combination creates a most durable, practical energy-producing roof possible. Access to the roof is not restricted due to the ruggedness of the photovoltaic laminates, so compromises for servicing roof-mounted equipment do not have to be made. Roof loading is a non-issue due to the fact that the Uni-Solar photovoltaic laminates weigh less than one pound per square foot, a tiny fraction of the weight of glass-based photovoltaic panels.

4 Parker Hannifin Parker Hannifin New Britain, CT Project Type: Thin-Film Solar System System Size: kw Completion: February 2009 Parker Hannifin had a 215 kw thin film solar electric system installed on their corporate headquarters in Connecticut. This solar electric system will help offset electrical usage costs to the company. Necessary roof repairs were made before the thin film panels were laid allowing the solar system and the roof to work in conjunction with each other.

5 South Pole/Wicked Fashions South Pole/Wicked Fashions Fort Lee, NJ Project Type: Building Integrated Photovoltaics System Size: 30kW Completion: January 2009 The proposed system is a truly integrated BIPV system in that it is applied as an integral part of the roof system. The flexible, lightweight, UniSolar Photovoltaic Laminates are applied directly to the surface of the roofing system. The combination creates a most durable, practical energy-producing roof possible. Access to the roof is not restricted due to the ruggedness of the photovoltaic laminates, so compromises for servicing roof-mounted equipment do not have to be made.

6 Pennsauken, New Jersey Pennsauken Landfill Pennsauken, NJ Project Type: Utility-Scale Solar Ground Mount System System Size: 1.09 MW Completion: February 2008 The reclaimed landfill at Pennsauken, New Jersey was equipped with over 1 megawatt of solar electric power. This large-scale project is a ground mount design using hard panel photovoltaic modules. Over the life of the system, greenhouse gasses such as Nitrogen, Sulfur and Carbon will be reduced by over 56 million pounds per kilowatt hour, collectively.
