Suntech signs solar roof membrane licensing deal with Open Energy

In an exclusive agreement, Open Energy has teamed up with Suntech Power for the licensing of Open Energy’s building integrated solar roof membrane product. This cooperative move will see Suntech manufacture, distribute, and oversee sales and marketing of Open Energy's solar membrane product, which will carry the title SolarEze once this agreement is finalized, highlighting the product’s relative ease of installation.

It consists of a frameless flat roof membrane, which is light in weight yet waterproof, hail and wind resistant and without any penetrations. Following this news, Suntech is performing an evaluation of various distribution alternatives and sales channels globally to best market and distribute the BIPV product.

"Open Energy's product fits well within our line of solar roofing products adding an excellent easy to install solar roof membrane that is ideal for commercial flat roofs, said Leonard May, Suntech's Managing Director of BIPV Products. "By combining Open Energy's innovative designs with Suntech's leadership in quality manufacturing, marketing and sales, we are confident that we will consistently deliver innovative products, the highest quality and outstanding value to our customers capitalizing on the strengths of both companies."
