Solar EnerTech is a fast-growing manufacturer of high quality photovoltaic solar energy cells, modules, and state-of-the-art solar applications. For the year ended September 30, 2009 Solar EnerTech's sales increased 12% year-over-year to $32.8 million, and diluted EPS improved to ($0.16) from ($0.18) a year ago. The increase in sales was driven by increases in module shipments to 10.5 Mega-watts (MW) during fiscal 2009, up from 6.67MW in fiscal 2008, which was partially offset by a 25% yearly decrease in average selling price to $3.07 per Watt in fiscal 2009, down from $4.10 in fiscal 2008.

"We are excited to be working with a client with superior industry knowledge, high-margin quality products, and extensive global reach," said Crocker Coulson, President of CCG.
