Barnabus Energy to Introduce the World's Lightest, Most Powerful Solar BIPV Module
Barnabus Energy, Inc. (OTC BB: BBSE), currently doing business as Open Energy Corporation subject to a pending name change, announced today that recently acquired Solar Roofing Systems (SRS) of Canada has introduced a major technological breakthrough with its recently redesigned Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) roofing module that is the lightest, most powerful module commercially available.
The module has benefited from a proprietary product improvement that has enabled SRS to reduce the weight to only 2 pounds per square foot. The use of Sunpower A-300 cells in the membrane-based application has resulted in a total power output of 480 watts per module -- a 50% power output increase over the nearest competitor.
This accomplishment clearly moves the Company into the design forefront, providing solutions to customers that are looking for lightweight, high-power energy solutions. Management believes that the design changes provide a significant breakthrough and will be of immediate interest to architects, designers and system integrators.
Norman Dodd, President, of East Coast Operations, stated, "Our talented team of Research and Development personnel continues to differentiate our products versus mainstream, traditional module manufacturers. Our core strength continues to be the innovative design of leading-edge applications that provide a significant benefit to our end customers."
