Intersolar 2011: aleo solar presents new all-black modules and passes the salt mist test

Oldenburg/Prenzlau (ots) - aleo solar AG [ISIN: DE000A0JM634]
today announced it will present the new, all-black aleo S_79 solar
module at this year's Intersolar in Munich - the industry's leading
trade fair. The premium module combines a particularly striking
appearance with elegant design and high output: by utilising black
monocrystalline cells, black frames and black backing sheets, aleo
solar has developed a module that integrates harmoniously into any
roof surface.

"aleo solar is using monocrystalline black high-performance cells
for the new S_79 and S_79 Solrif module types, which means that the
modules will have a rated output of up to 245 watts and an efficiency
rating of up to 15.0 percent. Mechanical stability for the solar
modules is provided by a 50 mm-wide black anodised frame, constructed
from a corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy. As with all aleo solar
modules, the frames are precision snap-fitted and not screwed. This
makes the module more stable and ensures visual matching down to the
last detail," explains Dr. Jens Sabotke, Chief Technical and
Development Officer of aleo solar AG.

The new module types will be available not only in Europe but also
in Asia and Australia, and the S_79 modules will also be distributed
in North America. The modules are certified to IEC/EN 61215 and
IEC/EN 61730, as well as UL 1703 and ULC/ORD-C1703-01 (USA and
Canada).

In addition, aleo solar AG also offers a new module from avim that
is specially designed to meet the requirements of large-scale
projects. avim solar production Co. Ltd. in Gaomi, China is a joint
venture of aleo solar AG and the manufacturer of the new avim A_18.
The modules manufactured by the joint venture are offered at special
terms.

The new aleo module S_18 has also passed the salt mist test from
TÜV Rheinland. This certificate confirms that modules from aleo solar
can satisfy stringent quality requirements even in the salt-laden air
found in coastal regions.

The Company aleo solar AG produces and distributes premium solar
modules and systems for the international photovoltaic market. Since
