About Unisolar

United Solar Ovonic (Unisolar) of Auburn Hills, Michigan is no longer in business. The US manufacturer of flexible thin-film modules was taken down when its parent company, Energy Conversion Devices (ECD), filed for bankruptcy itself yesterday. ECD president Julian Hawkins says the subsidiary also had to file for bankruptcy because the Group’s financial position would prevent Unisolar from making the investments necessary for future business.
