Berlin (euro adhoc) - SOLON to Construct 15 MW Solar Power Plant for
California Energy Supplier PG&E

Berlin, Tucson, Ariz., February 24, 2011: SOLON Corporation, a
provider of turnkey solar power plants and manufacturer of
crystalline silicon solar modules in the U.S., has been awarded a
contract for the construction of a 15 MW (AC) solar power plant in
California for Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E), which supplies
natural gas and electric service to approximately 15 million people
in Northern and Central California.

The construction of the plant, which will cover an area of
approximately 160 acres, will start in April 2011 and is scheduled
for completion by October 2011. The system will utilize SOLON´s
Velocity MW cluster concept with fixed tilt mounting and SOLON´s
SCADA system for remote control and monitoring. The power plant will
be constructed in the vicinity of Fresno in central California.

The 15 MW project is part of PG&E´s 250 MW Utility Owned Generation
(UOG) PV Program, a five-year plan for the construction of utility
owned solar power plants. SOLON successfully constructed PG&E´s
pilot project in late 2009, for which it received PG&E's "Generation
Supplier of the Year" award last year. This additional order enables
SOLON to further expand its position as a supplier of turnkey power
plant solutions for major energy suppliers in the U.S.

About SOLON SOLON SE is one of the largest manufacturers of solar
modules in Europe as well as a supplier of solar system technology
for large-scale rooftop and greenfield installations. The SOLON Group
