Emcore Unveils Commercial Rooftop III-V CPV System

Emcore Corporation has announced that the Emcore
Soliant 1000 Commercial Rooftop Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) System is now
available for pre-production orders.

The Soliant 1000 is powered by Emcore's III-V multijunction
solar cell technology.

The Emcore Soliant 1000 is designed to generate solar
power for commercial buildings with high energy demands. The system offers one
of the highest energy production densities of any available solar system,
making it a very cost-effective solar solution for commercial rooftops in
regions with high Direct Normal Irradiance.

Emcore's Soliant 1000 generates more than 500 watts
peak per panel (18 watts peak per square foot), requiring approximately 28%
less rooftop area than polycrystalline and approximately 38% less rooftop area
than thin-film solar panels to generate 1000 MWh per year of energy output. The
system combines Emcore's solar cell technology with a patent-pending TipTilt
Tracking system that tracks the sun's movement all day to maximise critical
peak-hour energy output when utility energy is most expensive.

The Emcore Soliant 1000 panels are low profile,
lightweight, non-penetrating and come fully-assembled and ready to drop-in
place. This presents a strong value proposition for developers, integrators,
and installers as more projects can be completed in less time with lower labour
and system costs. Commercial building owners receive the benefits of the lowest
Levelised Cost of Energy, which is the final cost to produce a kilowatt-hour of
solar power, along with a system that is designed for over 25 years of life.

Christopher Larocca, Chief Operating Officer for Emcore
says, "This announcement opens the door for Emcore to enter the estimated
$2 billion annual rooftop solar market. Production and deliveries are scheduled
to commence later this year and we look forward to addressing this new
segment."
