National Press Release

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENER) (ECD), a manufacturer of proprietary, thin-film amorphous silicon-based photovoltaic (PV) laminates, announced that it has extended its supply agreement with EnergyPeak. EnergyPeak expects to continue its aggressive growth rate and purchase up to 12MW of UNI-SOLAR(R) laminates from ECD through the end of 2011. These laminates will be incorporated into building-integrated photovoltaic systems on standing seam metal commercial roofs.

"EnergyPeak is an excellent partner for ECD, and we are working together to drive UNI-SOLAR sales through a network of approximately 30 metal roofing providers who are experts in rooftop installations. EnergyPeak's innovative metal roofing products incorporating our laminates are helping to promote the adoption of solar rooftop solutions across the United States," said Mark Morelli, president and CEO of Energy Conversion Devices.

EnergyPeak will integrate UNI-SOLAR brand PV laminates into building-integrated PV (BIPV) systems in standing seam metal commercial rooftop applications. The result is a practical solar roofing option that can be specified, bid, and installed with minimal effort and investment. PV laminates are applied in the factory and arrive at the project site already integrated into the roof. Once installed, the building immediately benefits from the solar roofing system and can begin immediately to offset its energy consumption. The pre-designed, affordable and highly efficient solar roofing systems are now readily available to owners and architects through a variety of EnergyPeak providers comprised of nationwide standing seam manufacturers.

"Since our original agreement with ECD in 2007, we have been very successful in establishing BIPV standards for standing seam metal roofs," said Rick Mowrey, president of EnergyPeak. "We have been very pleased with our relationship with ECD, and the quality and output of the UNI-SOLAR laminates. We look forward to continuing to work together to provide leading solutions that incorporate PV technology into standing seam metal roofing."
