SoloPower's CIGS modules, the company noted, represent an advanced solar product. Because of their lighter weight, they will be deployable with lower installation costs, providing less expensive solar electricity for utility, commercial and industrial customers. SoloPower's flexible modules will present new opportunities to large rooftop sites that glass-plate modules cannot service due to factors such as weight, high wind conditions, or roof penetrations.

SoloPower flexible CIGS modules are expected to be available for sale later in 2010.

SoloPower, Inc. aims to transform energy economics with its unique thin-film photovoltaics (PV) technology.

"The AMA's decision is a significant step as it will enable the clinician to choose the compression bandage most appropriate for treating the patient's problem rather than basing it on reimbursement, and it will allow many patients to receive compression therapy when it otherwise may not have been available," said Terry A. Treadwell, MD, Director of Wound Care Services, Baptist Medical Center South, Montgomery, Alabama. "The code will also help improve overall treatment for patients with venous ulcers as they can receive the standard of care -- compression therapy."

"We are very pleased that the AMA has created a unique CPT code that describes the application of a multi-layer system," said Cheryl Loegering, Reimbursement Manager, 3M Skin & Wound Care Division. "By creating this code specific to multi-layer systems, the AMA has recognized the wide-spread acceptance of this procedure and the clinical evidence supporting the use of multi-layer systems."

In addition to the publication of the CPT code, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the Outpatient Prospective Payment final rule (CMS-1414-FC), and CPT code 29581 has been assigned to the APC payment group 0058 which has a 2010 payment rate of $71.03.
