LUXEMBOURG and DONGYING, China, October 4, 2010 - CNPV Solar Power SA, a public limited liability company organized under
the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and a leading integrated
manufacturer of solar photovoltaic products, today announced that it has
achieved the industry standard UL (US) and C-UL (Canada) certifications for
its premium range of crystalline silicon solar photovoltaic modules. The UL
certification is an important milestone that opens the North American Market
for CNPV. Now with the UL certification a California Energy Commission (CEC)
listing is imminent.

"The UL certification confirms CNPV's crystalline solar photovoltaic
module design and manufacturing processes adhere to the CEC's stringent
requirements for functional, mechanical and safety capabilities to ensure
long-term performance in open air environments. The certification further
validates our improvements in manufacturing standards and process
efficiencies as well as our commitment to superior operating performance,
safety and stability," said B. Veerraju Chaudary, COO & CTO of CNPV. "We look
forward to working closely with UL and other international testing
organizations as we continue to enhance our research and development efforts
for both new products and new product features to meet our growing customer
requirements."

With high aspirations for this market; with strong local government
support, the Company is planning to open new sales offices in both California
and Canada. Our premium range modules offer 8% more efficiency at STC than
other UL certified suppliers, and its premium module series features large
area, high-efficiency mono crystalline silicon solar cells with
anti-reflection coated glass and high conductivity interconnected materials.
The larger diameter (200mm) of the cells compared to the standard (195mm)
with their high conversion efficiencies (17.5%) outperforms the industry
average by 8%, which translates to a module efficiency of 15.50%+. The
enhanced anti-reflection coated glass ensures 94% transmittance at STC levels
and provides an additional 3% performance at field level installations. The
net effect is increased power without increasing surface area required for
installation. Based on these advantages we believe we are poised to compete
very aggressively in the growth the North American solar market.

Mr. Zhang Shunfu, CEO and B. Veerraju Chaudary, COO & CTO of CNPV jointly
stated, "The UL approval was timed strategically to enter the market at the
right time within our growth curve. Further approval is imminent for the 60
cell range. Additionally, at the request of our customers, CNPV's solar
modules will be listed under the California Energy Commission (CEC)
guidelines and subsequently become 'eligible photovoltaic modules' under the
California Solar Initiative (CSI) program for state backed incentives. It
further demonstrates our commitment to a market driven strategy and the
ability of the implementation of our technology to lead in this exciting
market."

CNPV and their North American partners believe in helping customers and
end users navigate their way through the myriad of choices on offer in the
solar photovoltaic market. To this end, they have selected suitable products
that will cover the majority of installation needs, with power outputs of 195
to 305 watts per module.

CNPV's competitive advantages include leadership in client support, long
term warranties backed by third party insurance, and the highest return on
capital invested in PV solar modules. This unique combination of features
allows the client product specification process to be effortless.
