"This is truly a momentous day for both organizations" noted George
Rubin

successfully commercialized its patented Day4 Electrode and Guardian

in-field performance of our advanced photovoltaic modules, we are well
positioned to evolve our business model towards offering our customers a
turn-key manufacturing system for our Day4 branded solar pv modules"

a unique product offering, reduce their manufacturing cost base and gain
access to future technology enhancements based on Day4 Energy's
next-generation manufacturing platform," remarked Dr. John MacDonald, CEO and
Chairman of Day4 Energy. "The result is a powerful, innovative approach to
the development, manufacture, sale and distribution of solar pv modules,"
concluded Dr. MacDonald.

"With technological differentiation rapidly emerging as a critical area
for most PV manufacturers, we believe the combination of our state-of-the-art
equipment and Day4 Energy's technology will offer an unbeatable combination
for those organization looking to gain an advantage in the high-growth but
competitive market for pv modules," said Mr. Karl-Heinz Menauer, CEO of ACI.
"Innovation has long been a hallmark of both organizations, with ACI recently
recognized as one of Germany's 100 most innovative small to medium-sized
enterprises," concluded Mr. Menauer.
