ICP SOLAR Enters into Sales Contract with Nissan for New OEM Solar Charger
Automotive industry integrates a solar solution to minimize labor costs
MONTREAL, July 21 ,2008 -ICP Solar Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:ICPR.OB)
(FRANKFURT:K1U), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of solar panels and
products, today announced that they have entered into a sales contract with
Nissan in Europe and North America for OEM solar charger. A discharged
battery is one of the most common problems facing the automotive industry
with cars sitting in parking lots for long period of time in cold or hot
conditions. The ICP Solar OEM solar charger will help reduce the related
costs and will avoid strong 12 V battery drain using the power of the sun.
'ICP Solar Technologies wants to be a major player in the automotive
industry which is looking for a more cost effective green solution to the
dead battery problem. We have proved in the past with other car
manufacturers that this OEM solar charger placed on the dashboard inside
the car would be a great cost saving tool for 12V battery in the entire
automotive industry' said Sass Peress, CEO ICP Solar.
'After a very positive test from Nissan Europe with our new OEM Solar
charger, equipped with cutting edge suction cups including OBD connector,
we are extremely happy that Nissan North America has decided to extend our
partnership' said Tom Clark, Vice President Sales Americas 'With the new
generation of cars including more and more electronics embedded such as
GPS navigation systems, DVD player, cruise control, hand free cell phones,
voice activation, the battery drain on new cars will become more of an
issue for major automotive manufacturers and car dealers' added Clark.
