Masdar PV and Beck Energy Build Large Open-Space Solar Park in Germany

ICHTERSHAUSEN, Germany, January 17, 2011 - With effect immediately, 65,000 modules from Masdar PV will be
generating 6,096,000 kWh of renewable energy annually at Europe's largest
ground mounted plant with solar modules from Masdar PV. In partnership with
Beck Energy GmbH the project with an installed capacity of 6 MWp was realized
on a ca. 30-ha site in Luckenwalde (50 km south of Berlin) and connected to
the grid within a period of only two months. The total solar energy generated
by the modules can supply around 2,200 four-person households.

"We have created a reference project here for future
utility-scale photovoltaic power plants and for our Masdar PV product,"
reports Frank Wouters, CEO of Masdar PV, with satisfaction. "We are convinced
that large-scale plants of this type will make an important contribution to
the local and regional diversification of the energy mix." Bernhard Beck,
managing director of Beck Energy GmbH, which will soon be doing business
under the international brand name BELECTRIC, is also enthusiastic about the
project. "The Masdar PV modules are very well suited for installations this
type of large-scale projects because they offer an excellent cost-benefit
ratio." The plant in Luckenwalde, according to Beck, signaled the beginning
of a constructive collaboration between the firm based in Kolitzheim in Lower
Franconia and Masdar PV. First smaller follow-up projects are already
underway in Abu Dhabi. "We are confident that we have found a powerful
partner in Beck Energy with whom we can successfully carry out projects in
our target markets around the world," says Frank Wouters.
