NANJING, China, December 19, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Sunergy Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: CSUN) ("China Sunergy" or the "Company"), a specialized solar cell and module manufacturer, today announced that its Quasar modules had been awarded safety and reliability certificates by TUV Rheinland Group. The Company also announced the sale of 1.89MW in Quasar products to Bulgaria, under a contract signed with M1 Solar Plant, a special purpose vehicle company registered by Helios Power, a recognized player in the energy market.

TUV Rheinland Group provides neutral test reports and certificates to prove that PV modules safely and reliably deliver the guaranteed rated power in various kinds of environmental conditions. The TUV certificates for the Quasar modules are valid for 5 years through November 16, 2016. The certificate is widely recognized across Europe and will allow China Sunergy to ramp up its sales of Quasar modules across the continent.

China Sunergy believes that its module is well recognized in Eastern Europe. M1 Solar Plant will deploy China Sunergy's Quasar modules in the development of a commercial ground-mounted project in the Burgas region of Bulgaria known as Sredetz Solar Park. The project is expected to be completed in February 2012. The Company has started shipping in mid-December and will deliver the remainder before the end of January 2012.

"Sredetz Solar Park is one of our most important projects next year, and CSUN's efficient and high quality Quasar products enable us to build the project with reliable, cutting edge technology panels." Said Mr. Ivo Ivanov, CEO of Helios Power and Managing Director of M1 Solar Plant.

Robert Rice, Chief Sales, Marketing & Strategy Officer commented: "We are very pleased with these two positive developments. The TUV certificate is recognition of our Quasar product's quality and safety, and we expect this can pave the way for China Sunergy to step into the bigger European market. Specifically, the cooperation with M1 Solar Plant will expand our market share in Bulgaria, a good growth area for China Sunergy in the future."
