Atlantis Energy manufactures NRG Solar Ring for MetLife Stadium

Installed and operated by NRG Energy of Princeton, NJ the stadium is another example showcasing the capabilities of the U.S. manufacturer and integrator located in upstate New York with offices in the Midwest and California.

Poughkeepsie, NY, October 8, 2012: New York solar manufacturer Atlantis Energy Systems Inc. (AES) announced its role today in supplying the custom building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) modules that form the perimeter canopy of the MetLife stadium in New Jersey. The owner of the solar array NRG Energy and the Meadowlands Stadium Company have brought an aesthetic to the stadium canopy that not only harvests sustainable solar power, but also creates the NRG Solar Ring. This custom solar power generating system brings a dramatic visual element to the stadium experience – ringing the top of the stadium with an integrated LED light system. The ring itself has the ability to display team colors and an infinite array of hues. The end result is a unique visual presentation, especially appropriate for the only stadium in the NFL that is home for two teams – the New York Giants and New York Jets. The NRG Solar Ring changes the color that is appropriate for each event, for example team colors of either the NY Giants or Jets.

The custom BIPV system consists of 1,350 individual modules manufactured by AES, and is able to generate 25 times the amount of electricity needed to power the integrated LED lighting and display system. The modules have been assembled into 47 panels that were raised to the top level of the stadium and bolted into a steel superstructure that is cantilevered over top level seating.

"Atlantis Energy Systems Inc. is proud to have been chosen to manufacture the modules for this project", says Joe Morrissey, Atlantis Energy‘s VP for Sales. "It is a world class project and it had pushed us to our limits at our production facility in Poughkeepsie, New York." The 6 month manufacturing process took the AES teams working 24 hours a day to meet the production schedule. Frank Pao, the company's President, said, "We are so proud of what our plant has done to



realize this project and we are already working on other custom building integrated photovoltaic modules as well as our off-the-shelf solar PV products"

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
