Solar Power, Inc. Receives Follow-on Order from German Solar Integrator

ROSEVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Solar Power, Inc. (“SPI”) (OTCBB:SOPW), a vertically integrated designer, manufacturer, and installer of photovoltaic (“PV”) energy systems announced today that it has received an additional order from a German solar integrator for the company’s 200-watt solar modules. On January 6th, SPI announced that an initial supply of the modules was shipped to the integrator during December, 2008. The initial product supply was well received from a quality and performance perspective, forming the basis for the order now in place.

“This order is significant as SPI continues to aggressively develop inroads into the European market,” said Bradley Ferrell, President of SPI’s Commercial Sales Division. “Our customer was obviously very happy with the performance and quality of our products in their initial trials, and has elected to engage with us on an ongoing basis. We believe our recent IEC certification and this order provide validation for our global sales, marketing and product development strategies. As a leading manufacturer and supplier in the world market for PV energy systems, we also believe our product quality and innovations, uniquely position us to continue to build global market share,” Mr. Ferrell concluded.

Product innovations and a growing body of well known commercial clientele continue to distinguish SPI. In 2007, SPI introduced its minimal or non-penetrating SkyMountTM commercial racking system for commercial roof-mounted arrays. SkyMount was most recently used at The STAPLES Center and the Nokia Theatre Live in Los Angeles, enabling the installation of more than 2,500 solar modules in just one week. SPI’s Peaq´TM elevated solar array systems, introduced earlier this month, now provides commercial enterprises with a means to significantly extend the footprint available to them for PV solar arrays in order to meet both financial and energy generation goals, while providing customers protection from heat and inclement weather.
