THE WOODLANDS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evolution Solar Corp. (PinkSheets:EVSO) announced that desired project events for a solar demonstration site were identified and defined with Texas Southern University today as part of The Phase One Project Meeting that took place at the university’s Houston campus. Robert Hines, President of EVSO, Dr. Bobby Wilson, Professor of the TSU’s L. Lloyd Woods Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Shell Oil Endowed Chair of Environmental Toxicology and Dr. David Olowokere, Chair/Professor of the TSU Department of Engineering Technologies were in attendance.
As a result of the Phase One meeting, the parties set a goal of breaking ground at approximately 60-90 days with solar panel mounting to take place immediately thereafter. The parties also were able to define other ancillary goals that could result from the new demonstration site.
The solar demonstration site is an opportunity for Evolution Solar to exhibit a functional product. The University will utilize students and faculty to assist in the design and engineering of the project. The project location is slated to be an integral part of a new proposed TSU Green Technology Center. The University also plans to use the site for additional research and development to benefit TSU, its students and ultimately the consumer.
“We are elated to be at the table with Evolution Solar in pursuit of a project that will be a benefit to the University and its faculty and students,” said Dr. Wilson. “This has the potential to open many doors for cooperative ventures on the horizon.”
The TSU demonstration installation should help Evolution Solar in competing with larger sector players such as First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR), Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL), Suntech Power (NYSE: STP) and SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWRA).
