Item 1
During the week of June 2, 2003, Burdick Technologies Unlimited with the assistance of Sun Dog Energy, Thames Electric and general contractor B.A.V. Construction, successfully installed a 3.5 kW solar electric system for the town's new Head Start School. The system utilizes 60 UNI-SOLAR PVL-58 metal roof laminate panels, stores power in 16 L-16 batteries and is managed through various charge, inverter, and grid-tie controls. The system is intended to power a portion of the school's lighting fixtures and sell power back to the local utility. The following are a few photos of the project:

| ...the panel is tested, passed to the roofers for instalation on the deck, and wired by our team to the control system - a well timed process developed through years of UNI-SOLAR installation experience. The result... an environmentally sound energy system that is also architecturally attractive!

Item 2
Redevelopment of the former Stapleton International Airport site has demonstrated bold initiative by embracing new, clean technologies. The first elementary school in the area is partially powered by a B.T.U. installed 1 kW, gri-tied solar electric system utilizing 6 Sharp 165 photovoltaic modules. A grand opening and dedication will take place October 22, 2003. In addition, the system is continually monitored using our Data Acquisition System (DAS) installed by B.T.U. and Morris Consulting Services. The DAS, developed in-house, will be introduced as a standard B.T.U. product in the near future. Stay tuned for details!

Item 3
The Mount Goliath Nature Center is a beautiful public facility on the Mount Evans Road, 2 miles above the Echo Lake Lodge. This alpine region is definitely off-grid and the .8 kW UNI-SOLAR metal roofing system and 8 sealed AGM batteries supply power to the building's lights and fans. The facility will formally open to the public in the spring of 2004.
