Energy Conversion Devices Announces 4.8-Megawatt Solar Project in Spain

ECD Selected by Recurrent Energy for Eight ProLogis Solar Rooftop
Installations

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., Oct. 5, /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Energy Conversion
Devices, Inc. (ECD) (Nasdaq: ENER), the leading global manufacturer of
thin-film flexible solar laminate products for the building integrated and
commercial rooftop markets, today announced it has been selected by Recurrent
Energy to deliver 4.8MWp of solar generating systems for eight separate
building rooftops at ProLogis Park Sant Boi in Barcelona and ProLogis Park
Alcala in Madrid, Spain. ECD will be supplying its UNI-SOLAR photovoltaic (PV)
laminates and providing development resources through its Solar Integrated
subsidiary.

The solar power systems will be owned by Recurrent Energy, a distributed power
company and a leading provider of solar energy, and installed on rooftops
leased by Recurrent Energy from ProLogis, a leading global provider of
distribution facilities. Construction on the project is expected to start in
October 2009.

ProLogis, a leading global provider of distribution facilities, currently has
UNI-SOLAR systems installed on facilities in the U.S., Spain and France. "We
are very pleased to continue our relationship with UNI-Solar and SIT through
this project," said Drew Torbin, director of global renewable energy for
ProLogis. "We look forward to working with the company closely over the next
several months as we bring this project on line."

"This new agreement is the first example of the benefits of combining our
leading UNI-SOLAR PV laminate product with the rooftop solar expertise of
Solar Integrated. This project also demonstrates how we will work closely with
Recurrent Energy and our key channel partners--in this case Soprema and its
dedicated subsidiary Solardis--to provide innovative solutions that meet the
needs of our customers and their roofs," said Mark Morelli, president and
chief executive officer for ECD.

For this project, Solar Integrated will engineer, procure, and construct the
solar PV systems totaling 4.8 megawatts for Recurrent Energy. The PV systems
will consist of UNI-SOLAR laminates combined with the SOPRASOLAR complex - a
bituminous waterproofing system, and will be applied directly on the roofs.
Installation will be done by Soprema's local installer Master Renovables.
