<p STYLE=' MARGIN-BOTTOM:0PT; MARGIN-TOP:0PT;TEXT-ALIGN:CENTER;'><FONT SIZE=2>ECD OVONICS ANNOUNCES CHANGES IN MANAGEMENT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES AS PART OF ITS RESTRUCTURING STRATEGY</FONT></P>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:center;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:center;'><FONT SIZE=1><b>Organizational Restructuring Better Reflects Increased Acceptance of and Demand
for Ovonic Products and Technologies</b></font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><b><font size=2>Rochester Hills, Mich</font></b><font size=2>., Sept. 1, 2005 &#150; Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (ECD Ovonics) (Nasdaq:ENER) announced today that, with the increasing acceptance of and demand for its Ovonic products as it continues its transition from a highly successful advanced technology research-oriented company to a more commercially focused manufacturing business, its Board of Directors has approved changes in its corporate organizational structure.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>All production manufacturing and commercial operations will now report to James R. Metzger, executive vice president and chief operating officer.  Stanford R. Ovshinsky, currently president and chief technology officer, will be named president and chief scientist and technologist.  In this position, he will continue to lead the development of the full potential of the emerging &#147;Hydrogen Economy,&#148; while focusing on further developing the science and technology of amorphous and disordered materials.  Both Stan Ovshinsky and Jim Metzger continue to report to Robert C. Stempel, chairman and CEO of ECD Ovonics.  The three executives comprise the office of the chairman, responsible for the Company&#146;s overall strategic direction.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>To better serve the diverse photovoltaic market demands, the Board also approved the formation of two solar divisions.  The Ovonic Solar-Terrestrial Division which will report to Jim Metzger, will have responsibility for manufacturing and sales of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) and PV roofing products.  This division will also be responsible for the current 25/30MW solar module manufacturing plant in Auburn Hills, Mich., as well as the recently announced second 25/30MW plant.  The Ovonic Solar-Space and R&amp;D Division will report to Stan Ovshinsky who continues to direct the overall advanced PV technology.  Ovonic Solar-Space and R&amp;D will have responsibility for government and military contracts, research and development, and the advanced ultra-lightweight PV for space and airship applications being developed under a contract with the U.S. Air Force.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;'><font size=2>By forming two solar divisions, ECD Ovonics will be in a better position to serve the diverse global markets in the PV field.  The Terrestrial division serves a highly competitive and rapidly growing market, with multiple customers mostly from the building, roofing and construction industries.  The Space and R&amp;D division, due to its unique customers in the military and certain government agencies and industrial users, will be devoted to the development of new and advanced technology, such as meeting the rigorous demand of outer space and improved efficiency.</font></p>
