The Long Island Power Authority will buy 37 megawatts of solar panels from BP Solar. The panels will be used to provide power to two locations of the Brookhaven National Labs. The deal will also be linked to a power purchase agreement. BP is one of the biggest solar producers in the world and is trying to be one of the early dominant players in copper-indium-selenide (CIS and often CIGS) solar panels. Still, the crunch has hit it too. Last October, it decided against building a silicon ingot factory. Instead of housing expensive manufacturing equipment, the building will hold offices.
