      Spire Awarded a $5.2 Million Cost-Shared Contract to Develop Production Line for Solar Brightfield Modules
      Wednesday June 25, 9:42 am ET


      BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 25, 2003--Spire Corporation (Nasdaq: SPIR - News), today announced that it has been awarded a $5.2 million cost-shared contract from the U.S. Department of Energy`s National Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL) to develop automated manufacturing processes for fabricating large-scale solar electric modules. The three-year research and development contract will enhance Spire`s capabilities for building high-volume production equipment that can assemble solar modules as large as 10 feet by 8 feet or more than five times the size of today`s standard size module. NREL will fund one half of the cost-shared contract, or approximately $2.7 million, under the Photovoltaic Manufacturing Research and Development ("PVMRD") program, and $2.5 million will be spent by Spire.
      Roger G. Little, President and CEO of Spire Corporation, said, "This contract will enable our Spire Solar business to raise its core machine building skills to the next level. The equipment and technology that we plan to develop under this program will enable the building of super-sized modules, each generating as much as one kilowatt. It is a well-known fact that the larger the size of the module, the lower the overall cost of an installed photovoltaic system. We believe these new modules can be used to cover contaminated land sites with large utility-connected arrays to generate clean energy. Our objective is to show that it can be economically feasible to transform industrial brownfields into Solar Brightfields(TM). We see a big potential market for "Solar Breeder" factories, a term used for photovoltaic module assembly factories that will continuously produce these specialized modules for deployment in Solar Brightfields."

      About the PVMRD Program

      A research and development partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. photovoltaic industry, PVMRD aims to help U.S. companies increase their international competitiveness by improving photovoltaic manufacturing processes and equipment and accelerating manufacturing cost reductions for photovoltaic modules. Spire`s initial 1998 PVMRD contract, now completed, resulted in the development of several types of automated PV assembly equipment suitable for use with crystalline-silicon solar cells or thin-film solar-cell laminates.

      Spire ist für mich ein klarer kauf!

      Der heutige Auftrag ist genial....5,2 Million$ auftrag!

      100% chance für mich!


      Hier ein Artikel von gestern!

      Bright hopes for solar power
      Firm responds to Chicago`s energy initiative
      Published June 23, 2003

      Joseph Zurad has a $30 million annual electric bill, a staggering amount that persuaded him that a giant solar-paneled carport could help him trim his agency`s energy budget.

      "If we could cut just 10 percent of our bill, it would allow us to operate differently," said Zurad, chief engineer for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago.

      Zurad particularly liked the idea that the agency would have access to some electricity in the event of a power outage, at least during the day. "People could still flush the toilets," he said.

      On a peak day, the agency requires 10 megawatts to 15 megawatts of electricity to operate the city`s wastewater pumps.

      If electricity were cut off for an extended period, sewage would back up into peoples` homes, he said.

      Solar power not only is free but also is surprisingly abundant in Chicago.

      "There is a misconception that Chicago is a Gray Lady when it comes to the sun," said Marcia Jimenez, the city`s environmental commissioner. Chicago`s insolation, the amount of sunlight that can be tapped, is 70 percent of Miami`s, she said.

      As long as there is sunlight, the solar panels will work to some extent, even if panels are snow covered, said Steve Walter, deputy commissioner for energy.

      The multimillion-dollar carport solar project, proposed by Spire Solar Chicago, a unit of Spire Corp., would fit in with Mayor Daley`s Energy Plan to lessen the city`s dependence on electricity from big producers. Conceived in the wake of the Loop and North Side power outages in 1999, the plan calls for city government to draw 20 percent of its electricity from renewable sources such as wind and solar power by 2006.

      As part of its 1999 franchise agreement with the City of Chicago, ComEd pledged to provide $6 million in contracts to a solar panel manufacturer, if the city could attract one. The city promised $2 million in contracts and recruited Spire Solar.

      The wastewater agency project would be a major expansion of Spire`s business.

      Zurad believes his agency could recoup its investment in three years through savings on its electric bill.

      Still, he cautioned that the economics of the project depend on obtaining state and local funding incentives that now target much smaller projects of 50 kilowatts or less. His project currently would not qualify for those incentives.

      2,000 solar panels

      Since late 1999, Spire Solar has manufactured more than 2000 modules, or solar panels, and installed 750 kilowatts of solar power in the Chicago area. As a result, Illinois now has 1,202 kilowatts of solar power, making it the fourth-largest generator of solar power, behind California, Arizona and New York.
      So far, Spire Solar has been involved in three dozen projects around Chicago.

      At its own rented corporate headquarters at the Chicago Center for Green Technology, 445 N. Sacramento Blvd., Spire built 28 solar panel awnings that shade the building`s southern exposure.

      Spire also installed a rooftop solar system and a ground-mounted system. The systems provide 72 kilowatts of solar power, or about 20 percent of the building`s electricity.

      Spire is installing similar awnings and a rooftop system at the DuSable Museum of African-American History. Spire also has installed roof-top solar panels at six other museums, including the Art Institute. The Museum of Science and Industry even has a solar-paneled bus stop.

      Spire`s solar panels at the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum, in the Pilsen neighborhood, defray costs and reduce dependency on ComEd. During peak sunshine months--typically May, June and July--the solar power provides up to 25 percent of the museum`s electricity--power that doesn`t need to be purchased from ComEd, said Tim Lindberg, a ComEd spokesman.

      Over the entire year, the solar system supplies about 14 percent of the building`s electric demand, saving roughly $2,800 a year, Lindberg said.

      Eight public schools

      Spire has installed solar panels in eight Chicago public schools and about 15 non-profit organizations, residences and businesses.

      The Chicago-based Environmental Law & Policy Center is seeking to expand the residential market. It worked with ComEd to develop a net metering program that allows residential customers to sell solar electricity they do not use to the utility.

      Customers are not charged for the meters, nor do they have to pay for an upfront energy usage study as they do in some other states, said Gabriela Martin, ComEd`s manager for environmental commitments.

      "Solar energy is most useful because it is available when power is needed most: at peak demand times when market prices are highest," said Howard Learner, the law and policy center`s executive director.

      "It is also a very good niche energy supply for certain summertime dependent uses, such as heating swimming pool water, and for supplying power to difficult-to-reach locations such as cell phone towers and recreational cabins," he said.

      Spire has sold solar units for 12 new residences Claretian Associates is developing in the South Chicago neighborhood. Claretian Associates is a neighborhood improvement and housing development group.

      On a $500,000 home, state funding to encourage use of solar power would limit the consumer`s cost of a system to $10,000, or an additional 2 percent of the price, said Mark Burger, Spire Solar`s sales manager. Folded into the mortgage, the system`s cost would add only a few dollars a month, he said.

      "There are early adopters, people who want to be in the lead," he said.

      Spire Corporation Receives $750,000 NIH Grant to Develop Nanotechnology Coatings for Orthopedic Prostheses
      Friday August 8, 12:26 pm ET
      Spire`s Proprietary Nanotechnology Process Produces Super Hard Wear Resistant Coatings


      BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 8, 2003-- Spire Corporation (Nasdaq: SPIR - News) announced today that it has received a two-year, $750,000 SBIR Phase II grant from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases to develop nanotechnolgy coatings. Under the grant, Spire will develop hard, extremely adherent nanocrystalline coatings for orthopedic implants. The coatings contain metallic bonding and have a chemical composition very similar to the substrate. This provides significantly better chemical compatibility, and therefore superior adhesion of the coating to the implant. Feasibility of the technology was demonstrated during a Phase I grant. Phase II will optimize coating properties and demonstrate performance in a joint simulator, ultimately leading to commercial application of the coating.
      More than 500,000 total and partial joint replacements are performed each year in the nearly $4 billion orthopedic reconstructive products market. Wear of the components leads to device loosening, which is a major failure mechanism limiting joint lifetime. Mark Little, CEO of Spire Biomedical, Inc., stated, "Coating orthopedic device surfaces as a means of reducing wear and extending device performance has been considered a promising approach for many years. However, the inability to obtain a sufficiently adherent coating by conventional means has severely limited its application. Our coatings have the potential for overcoming the adhesion problem and significantly improving orthopedic device function and lifetime."

      "As a leader in surface modification technology for medical devices, we are committed to continually developing new and innovative approaches for our orthopedic device customers. We see this coating as a very promising opportunity that falls directly in line with our existing business. We have applied to patent valuable elements of this nanotechnology. We are pleased that NIH has recognized the importance and strong commercial potential of the technology."

      Spire Solar Chicago Achieves UL Listing and First Sale of Clear Modules
      Wednesday August 13, 11:59 am ET


      CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 2003--Spire Corporation (Nasdaq: SPIR - News), which provides products and services, based upon a common technology platform, to the Solar Energy and Biomedical industries worldwide, today announced that Spire Solar Chicago, a unit of Spire Corporation, has introduced a clear back sheet version of its 75-watt photovoltaic panel. The clear back sheet allows light to pass translucently through the rows of cells, adding a new dimension of style to the modules and their design applications. The modules recently passed rigorous environmental and safety testing by the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and the Arizona State University`s Photovoltaic Test Laboratory. In addition to obtaining UL listing, the modules were also qualified to international stability and performance standards, successfully passing IEC 61215 testing.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      Steve Hogan, Spire Solar, Inc.`s Executive Vice President and General Manager, stated, "The addition of a clear module to our product line allows Spire Solar Chicago to address the special needs of architects and engineers interested in incorporating photovoltaic modules in building applications, known as Building Integrated Photovoltaics ("BIPV"). The UL listing on the modules allows designers to implement the unique characteristics safely into applications. Spire is proud of its ability to respond to the special market demands so elegantly exhibited in our Chicago market."

      The clear modules will be featured on two new construction developments in Chicago, Sheffield Green Condominiums in Lakeview and Bethel New Life`s Lake Pulaski Commercial Center on the City`s West Side. Farr Associates designed both buildings with features that minimize environmental impact and operating costs. Kevin Pierce, architect and principal of Farr Associates, stated, "For our Bethel Commercial Center project, the clear back sheet PV panels turn the product from a utilitarian energy producer into a real design element. The PV cornices shade the building with dappled light and will be visible to pedestrians below."

      In addition to solar power generation, Sheffield Green Condominiums feature passive heating and cooling and recycled and environmentally responsible building materials. Developer Garret Obluck said, "In a market like Lakeview, buyers are looking for design features that really stand out. Not only do the clear solar awnings make a design statement, they make a lifestyle statement: you don`t have to choose one over the other. The Sheffield Green Condominiums prove that style is enhanced by features like solar, which attract buyers who want their homes to reflect the values that are important to them."

      Funding beyond the private investment of the developers for these projects comes from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity`s Renewable Energy Resource Program and the ComEd Photovoltaic Incentive Program.

      In addition to the clear back sheets, Spire Solar Chicago offers powder-coated frames in a variety of colors to fit architectural and design requirements. Spire Solar Chicago manufactures modules in the Chicago Center for Green Technology, recently designated a Platinum level building by the U.S. Green Building Council`s LEED(TM) rating system. The Center was also named one of the top ten green projects in 2002 by the American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment. Spire Solar Chicago is a partner in the Chicago Solar Partnership and an active member in the Chicago Chapters of the U.S. Green Building Council, the Homebuilders Association of Greater Chicago and the AIA.
