United Solar gets big bucks from feds



Auburn Hills-based United Solar Ovonic LLC said it has won a cost-shared, three-year cooperative agreement from the United States Department of Energy for development of low-cost building-integrated photovoltaic systems. 

The intent is to significantly reduce the cost of solar electricity. Under the cooperative agreement, United Solar Ovonic is expected to receive $4.6 million in federal funding through the completion of its first project budget period, which will be implemented through June 2008. 

Upon successful completion of key project milestones and sustained execution of a viable business strategy, as much as $14.74 million in additional DOE funding will be made available for continued implementation of the project through June 2010.
