Berlin (euro adhoc) - SOLON SE sells Swiss subsidiary SOLON Inverters
AG

Berlin/Uznach, December 14, 2010: SOLON SE has today announced that
it has sold its Swiss subsidiary SOLON Inverters AG to Delta Energy
Systems (Germany) GmbH, which forms part of the Taiwan-based Delta
Electronics Group. The change of control takes immediate effect. The
parties have agreed not to disclose any details of the transaction.

SOLON Inverters AG - which was founded in 1992 under the name asp AG
and is based in Uznach, Switzerland - has been a member of the SOLON
Group since 2000 and develops, produces and sells sinewave inverters
for stand-alone installations. The company and its 14 employees
generated revenue of EUR2.3 million in 2009.

The strategy pursued by the SOLON Group, which specializes in
developing and manufacturing solar modules and erecting large-scale
power plants, has recently been focusing much less on business in
inverters for stand-alone installations. The sale of SOLON Inverters
AG therefore constitutes a further stage of the restructuring program
launched last year, which is intended to help optimize the SOLON
Group's cost structures and place a sharp focus on its core
competencies and key markets.

Stefan Säuberlich, chief executive officer of SOLON SE: "SOLON
Inverters AG possesses a team of outstandingly skilled, highly
experienced specialists in the field of inverter technology. We are
delighted that, in the Delta Electronics Group, the company has found
a new owner whose support and direction will open up new
opportunities for its workforce and for taking its business forward."

About SOLON SE: SOLON SE is one of Europe's largest solar module
producers and a provider of solar systems technology for large-scale
rooftop and free-field installations. The SOLON Group has
subsidiaries in Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Switzerland and the
United States and employs around 950 people worldwide. Its core
business is the manufacture of solar modules and photovoltaic systems
and the design and construction of large-scale rooftop installations
and turnkey solar power plants around the world.

About the Delta Electronics Group: The Delta Electronics Group is the
global market leader in the manufacture of switching power supplies
and a major supplier of visual displays and electronic components for
IT, telecom, networking, medical and industrial applications as well
as renewable energies. It employs well over 60,000 people worldwide
in sales/marketing, development and production. Its subsidiary Delta
Energy Systems has been investing since 1999 in the development and
global marketing of its solar inverter program and has made a
valuable contribution to helping achieve Delta's mission of providing
