CNPV Declares an MOU with International EPC Company

LUXEMBOURG and DONGYING, China, August 19, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- CNPV Solar Power SA, a public limited liability company organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and a leading integrated manufacturer of solar photovoltaic products, announced today that they have signed an MOU and Strategic Partnership agreement with SolarTec Group.

The wide scope agreement declares terms of a Joint Venture on specific projects as well as a Strategic Partnership to supply volumes of the order of 300MW over a three year period. Twenty MW is expected to be delivered this year with the balance in the following two years. The geographical scope is focused on North America, Europe, Africa and Asia.

SolarTec Group is a New Jersey Company headquartered in Denver, Colorado, and provides multi-discipline services for industrial, commercial, and utility scale projects, which include Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC), performance validations and commissioning, as well as consulting services to developers, construction companies, and manufacturers. One of the co-founders is Dr. Neway Argaw, a recognized, premier solar expert, who has over 100MW of completed installations and 800MW of solar PV designs to his credit.

"We are constantly looking at the performance boundaries of products and projects. Not only does this serve our consulting clients, it also allows us to lead the way for our specifying and purchasing clients," stated Dr. Neway Argaw, CEO SolarTec Group, "Our scope of investigations can cover a wide range of topics but ultimately return to reduction in customer risk, better efficiency and improved cost effectiveness. When evaluating CNPV, we quickly established that their performance boundaries were notably higher than industry standards, and uniquely, they combined these individual class leading elements within one offering."

Mr B. Veerraju Chaudary, CNPV's COO and CTO proffered further enthusiasm: "Clearly we are delighted to be validated, chosen and then involved with such a credible company and individuals as SolarTec and Dr Argaw. To be able to further justify our belief in CNPV's solution offering, after such an intensive exploration, is both an honour and extremely rewarding. Our focus on providing the real world value outside of the specification sheets has helped us to confidently enter into the agreements with SolarTec and centre our attention on collectively leading the solar installation market in the coming years. Of course the journey does not stop here. With SolarTec's additional input we foresee greater developments even more finely tuned to the future market needs."
