Victorville, California Selects Solar Integrated For New Solar Powered City Hall

London, UK, May 31, 2006 – Solar Integrated Technologies, Inc. (AIM: SIT.LN), a leading provider of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) roofing systems, announced today that it has been contracted by Rogers-Quinn (RQ) Construction to provide a solar roofing solution for the new City Hall building in Victorville, California. Solar Integrated will be installing a 100 kW turn-key BIPV roofing solution that produces clean and secure power while protecting the building’s interior and improving the overall efficiency of the facility.


Located at the edge of the Mojave Desert, the City of Victorville is ideally situated to take advantage of plentiful sunlight. “Using solar was an important decision for us,” commented Mayor Mike Rothschild of the City of Victorville. “Our Council is committed to showing leadership in encouraging the use of renewable energy. Solar Integrated’s unique solution to provide a combined roofing and solar product was very appealing to us and enabled us to make the decision to move forward.”


Solar Integrated is working with project partners Tremco and RQ Construction, using a Tremco TPA single ply roofing membrane, and extensive tapered insulation to improve the thermal performance of the building. This is Solar Integrated’s second project with Tremco, a global premium provider of environmentally friendly energy efficient roofing systems.


“Delivering high-performance environmentally friendly products to customers is of utmost importance to Tremco,” commented Deryl Kratzer, President of Tremco’s Roofing Division. “Our customers have come to expect quality and durability from Tremco. By partnering with Solar Integrated to offer their unique BIPV roofing solutions, we are confident that we will exceed our customer expectations.”

RQ Construction is the general contractor for the Victorville City Hall expansion project and selected Solar Integrated in a competitive bid process.  Mitch Tharaldson of RQ Construction commented, “We chose Solar Integrated from a number of other suppliers because they are easy to do business with and have an excellent reputation in the industry and one of the most innovative BIPV products on the market today. With construction started, I believe our experiences from working together will improve our understanding of Solar Integrated’s solar roofing products, enabling us to offer it to other customers in the future."
