DuPont Facility Features WorldWater Solar System WorldWater & Power Corp., a developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, has announced that its chairman, Quentin T. Kelly, recently participated at the inauguration of DuPont's new solar energy program, featuring a system designed and installed by WorldWater, at DuPont's Chestnut Run facility in Wilmington, Del. Leading the inaugural event were DuPont Chairman and CEO Charles O. Holliday, Jr. and Delaware Governor Ruth Ann Minner.

The 40 kilowatt solar system, DuPont's solar generated electricity at one of its facilities, will convert the sun's energy into electricity for an R&D and business building at the site.

"As one of the earliest pioneers in practical solar powered solutions we are naturally proud that our 25 year effort has led to our participation in this leading edge project," Kelly said. "Moreover, to be involved with a world innovator in science like DuPont is a high distinction for our company."

In addition to three sites in the U.S., DuPont is conducting research on solar energy in the U.K., Switzerland, China and Japan. DuPont has made a corporate commitment to have at least 10 percent of its power produced by renewable energy sources by 2010, some of which will be supplied through solar panel technology. Today, over five percent of its power is produced by renewable energy sources.
