The USNWC will become the first facility in the Charlotte region to generate a portion of its operating power with a Flexlight® Thin Film roof system. The Flexlight Thin Film system, manufactured by Uni-Solar, uses low-light technology to produce more electricity per watt than other systems currently on the market. The 5kW system will generate a cost savings for the Whitewater Center and is expected to become an important educational tool for the community. The system has a state-of-the-art monitoring system that feeds into a touch screen monitor in the USNWC conference center lobby.
