SoloPower Broadens its Product Line by Offering the World's Most Powerful Certified Flexible CIGS Module

SoloPower strengthens its global product offering with recent certification of SFX3 up to 260W, the most powerful certified flexible CIGS module in the world.

SAN JOSE, California, December 15, 2010 - SoloPower, Inc., a California-based manufacturer of flexible, thin film
solar cells and modules, continues to make steady progress with the
successful expansion of its product line to include the newly certified SFX3
module. Capable of producing up to 260 Wp, the SFX3 is the most powerful
flexible, certified, thin film CIGS module available for purchase in the
marketplace today. SoloPower's aperture efficiency also continues to improve
with NREL measuring flexible modules made on the company's production line as
high as 12.1%.

Following in the footsteps of the narrower SFX1 module, which was the
first flexible CIGS module certified to both UL 1703 and IEC (61646 and
61730) standards, the wider and more powerful SFX3 module greatly broadens
the company's product offering in the global marketplace.

"Achieving the certification of both our wide and narrow modules to the
necessary UL and IEC standards allows us to provide efficient and
cost-effective solutions to a broad range of market channels and
geographies," stated SoloPower CEO Tim Harris. "With the SFX3 module passing
the same certification standards as the SFX1 recently did, we can deliver
powerful, lightweight products optimized for use on both low-slope and
standing-seam metal roof systems in Europe, North America and Asia."

"Breaking through the 12% aperture efficiency barrier for production line
modules is an added bonus, and highlights our company's focus on continual
product improvement," stated Harris. "The fact that we've been able to
improve our aperture efficiency from 11.2% to 12.1% over the past 6 months
while simultaneously beginning to deliver products to the global marketplace
is a testament to the SoloPower team's effectiveness."

SoloPower CTO Mustafa Pinarbasi added: "SoloPower has the first and only
flexible CIGS products today certified to both UL 1703 and IEC (61646 and
61730) standards. This illustrates SoloPower's technological edge. Our high
power SFX3 panel enhances the company's position in the flexible solar
segment and demonstrates our drive to lower the cost of solar power to grid
parity."

SoloPower is in the process of shipping SFX1 and SFX3 modules to
customers in Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Japan, and Korea, as well
as to multiple locations in North America. Demand is rapidly building for
these high-efficiency modules packaged in a durable, lightweight, flexible
form. The SFX1 module (up to 85Wp, 0.292m x 3.05m, 2.27kg /5lbs.) and SFX3
module (up to 260 Wp, 0.88m x 3.05m, 6.8kg/15lbs.) are currently manufactured
at the San Jose, California production facility. At slightly less than 0.5
lb. per sq. ft., the thin film modules produced by SoloPower weigh
significantly less than traditional solar panels, which are often too heavy
to be placed in large numbers on older buildings.

SoloPower's flexible CIGS module achieved IEC 61646 and IEC 61730
certifications through TUV SUD America, Inc.; and the ETL Mark certification
to the UL 1703 standard through Intertek.
