SunPower has announced it has signed a customer contract with Italian solar plant integrator Ecoware. Under the terms of the agreement, SunPower will provide Ecoware with at least 130 megawatts of its high-efficiency solar panels over the next four years.

Ecoware will begin receiving SunPower's solar panels under the agreement in the first quarter of 2009.

"As electric rates continue to rise, SunPower recognizes the long-term growth opportunity for solar power in Italy and throughout Europe," said Howard Wenger, SunPower's president, global business units.

"SunPower's high-efficiency solar panels improve the energy delivery and will lower the levelized cost of energy of Ecoware's ground mounted trackers."

Ecoware is a leading Italian systems integrator, designing turn-key power plant solutions. It manufactures dual-axis ground mounted tracker systems, and has designed and installed many solar parks throughout Italy. Ecoware also plans to expand its business into Southern and Eastern Europe.

"SunPower's high-efficiency solar panels maximize the energy output from each of our proprietary ground-mounted tracker systems by up to 50 percent when compared to conventional solar panels," said Leopoldo Franceschini, president of Ecoware.

"Italy's abundant sunshine and strong support for solar power offer us the opportunity to substantially expand our operations as one of Italy's leading solar integrators."
