LUXEMBOURG and DONGYING, China, July 8, 2010 - CNPV Solar Power SA, a leading integrated manufacturer of solar
photovoltaic products, today announced full approval for their complete range
of modules under the UK Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS). The MCS
certificate is a pre-requisite for selling solar panels in the UK market
within the Government financial support program. The endorsement will enable
customers and value-added partners in the UK, to utilize CNPV's solar panels
for reliable, lower cost, electricity generation.

Issued by the leading UK test authority, the British Standards Institute
(BSI), the certification attests that CNPV's modules meet or exceed relevant
standards for sales in the UK. The MCS approval process includes a factory
inspection, to ensure that all production processes conform or exceed safety
and reliability standards, as well as thorough product performance
evaluation. The net result is the ability to present the CNPV modules,
complete with the well established and world respected Kitemark(R) and the
recently introduced MCS mark.

CNPV will introduce the British market to 3 specific high power density
premium series module sizes from their product portfolio. This will allow
further improvement on their already significant cost benefits. Incorporating
all of their latest technology and superior performance, these modules are
versatile solutions to the complete requirement of the UK photovoltaic
demand. The UK module sizes are CNPV-200M within 1.26sqm area, CNPV-250M
within1.6sqm area and CNPV-300M within 1.9sqm area.

The larger area, high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells,
anti-reflection coated glass and high conductivity interconnected materials
generate the highest efficiencies, outperforming the industry average by 8%.
The net effect is increased power without increasing surface area required
for installation; it is therefore an ideal solution where space is limited
and variable light conditions exist.

The modules are backed by CNPV's 25-year power output and 10-year product
workmanship warranty underwritten by reputed European insurance companies.
This range is already provided by CNPV on a worldwide basis where superior
performance is required, and it is particularly suited to the UK solar
electricity generating conditions.

B. Veerraju Chaudary, CNPV's COO and CTO, said, "CNPV is the first in its
field to develop and attain MCS certification for the entire range from 10Wp
to 300Wp.This is a tremendous achievement for CNPV, and once again allows us
to satisfy the tough requirements that our customers demand. The development
is part of CNPV's extensive R&D program, dedicated to continuously improving
module efficiency. Matching a competitive price structure with proven highest
output modules is the way the solar industry will achieve grid parity. CNPV
is leading the way towards achieving this goal with our crystalline
technology."
