Suniva has completed a 240kW solar installation on a retail center in Cary, NC. The PV module array is on the rooftop of the Mayfair Plaza Shopping Center and is one of the state's largest rooftop arrays. This project is the second to be built by FLS Energy and powered by Suniva.

Michael Shore, president of FLS Energy said, "The advantages of using Suniva's high-powered solar modules are twofold: it enables us to address the expanding market at an affordable price while using high-quality content made in the USA." FLS Energy acted as system integrator on the project.

"We look forward to continuing our great relationship with FLS as the Southeast continues to be recognized as a huge opportunity for the solar market," said John Baumstark, CEO of Suniva. "Our solar modules, Powered by Suniva, will enable FLS's installations to deliver some of the highest levels of performance and reliability in the industry by using the most advanced, efficient and cost-effective solar cell technology available."

The Cary solar PV array began operation on December 22 and is expected to generate approximately 325,000kWh annually.
