Leipzig, 23. November 2009 - Solarion AG from Leipzig, Germany, announced today the successful achievement of a crucial milestone within its internal qualification of a transparent and flexible encapsulation solution for its copper-indium-gallium-diselenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cells on plastic.

With this flexible encapsulation system Solarion passed the damp-heat test (1,000 hours at 85 % relative humidity and 85 °C temperature) according to the IEC 61646 standard for performance and durability of thin-film solar modules.

"A flexible packaging of large area photovoltaic devices with efficiencies of about 10 % represents a real bright spot for new photovoltaic applications. We are seeing a strong demand for highly efficient, flexible and lightweight solar modules," said Karsten Otte, CEO at Solarion.

"The availability of such photovoltaic products enables completely new product solutions for example in the field of solar roofing materials for buildings or for implementing these products into automotive lightweight constructions which will become more and more important with completely electric powered vehicles." adds Otte.

In September Volkswagen AG presented the concept car E-Up!. The roof of the car was designed as a curved solar module incorporating solar technology developed by Solarion AG.

Oldenburg/Prenzlau, 26. November 2009 - aleo solar AG today announced growing demand for its photovoltaic modules for commercial rooftop solar power facilities in Belgium. In October, two solar power plants rated at 350 KW and more than 500 KW respectively went online in Flanders. Many more orders are already in the pipeline for the year 2010.

Over 2,300 aleo S_18 modules have now been installed in Wondelgem (province of East Flanders) by aleo's partner Ceratec. The 500-kilowatt facility is expected to produce around 450,000 kilowatt-hours annually. It will be operated by an infrastructure, soil remediation and recycling company.

In Beernem (province of West Flanders), aleo's partner Prosolar has installed 1,550 aleo S_18 modules with a total rated output of 350 kilowatts. Inverters were also supplied by aleo solar. The rooftop power plant generates clean solar energy for a specialist molded parts business. "The reliability and quality of aleo modules assures high yield for many decades to come," comments Laurens Vogelaers, CEO of Prosolar. "This ensures the profitable operation of the solar plant for the company."

aleo solar AG has been active in the Belgian photovoltaics market for several years now and also maintains a local sales office. Thanks to attractive feed-in subsidies that vary from region to region, levels of installed solar power are growing steadily. One can also observe a trend towards mid-sized rooftop installations for commercial use. However, Belgium is also installing premium modules from aleo solar in both smaller and larger rooftop facilities.

Oldenburg, Prenzlau,19 November, 2009 - aleo solar AG today announced that it is enjoying particularly high levels of follow-on orders. The trend is seen in private solar rooftop installations, agricultural and industry facilities as well as greenfield sites: most follow-on projects and expansions are again using aleo solar modules. Many satisfied facility operators are deploying a second or third photovoltaic system that is also fitted out with aleo modules.

One of these satisfied aleo solar facility owners is the North German farm owner Nanno Addens. Having installed three solar power systems with a total rated output of just under 120 kilowatts (kW) on his outbuildings in 2004, 2005 and 2008, he is now planning to add even more. "I am always wondering which roof might take more solar modules," he comments, and this comes as no surprise because the aleo modules installed at Addens' farm in Wymeer, situated between the Ems and the Dutch border, have produced superb yields, easily more than ten percent higher than forecast.

Customer satisfaction in Germany is not dependent on location or a specific type of installation. Plant owners in the south of Germany and operators on the coast are equally happy with their aleo modules. Johann Donhauser, who owns a farm near Unterleinsiedel in eastern Bavaria, has been installing aleo modules on his farm buildings for six years running. His first solar installation dates from 2004, and he now has a total rated output of 116 kW connected to the grid. Donhauser: "My aleo modules have been delivering high, stable yields for six years now. This guarantees the profitable operation of my solar power systems."

And only aleo modules make the grade for the rooftop installation on the St Marien Clinic in Amberg. The hospital buildings host ten separate systems with a total rated output of 240 kW, which have been generating clean power since 2005. The two south German operators, whose facilities achieve more than 1,000 kilowatt-hours per kilowatt, commissioned Grammar Solar to install their solar power plants. Based in Amberg and one of the very first aleo solar partners, Grammar Solar are experienced solar experts who have installed over 30,000 kW of photovoltaic systems since 1995. "We get consistently positive feedback from facilities using aleo modules," comments Grammar Solar's Wolfgang Dotzler. "These quality modules help us to meet our objective of only installing first-class solar power systems."

The reason for the high levels of customer satisfaction is simple. Unlike most module makers, aleo solar has its own sales unit and can exert an influence not only on product quality but also on installation standards, Director Sales Norbert Schlesiger explains: "A system's economic viability depends on the best modules and a professional installation. Anyone operating a solar power plant using aleo modules is also assured of a first-class installation." Thanks to aleo's network of authorized dealers, aleo modules are only installed by experienced professionals. This brings benefits to the customer in terms of high energy yields. At the same time, operators can rest assured that their solar systems will continue to generate clean power reliably even after the twenty-year subsidy period is over.
