13/04/2007


FRANKFURT, Germany, April 13 /PRNewswire/ --

- Frankfurt's First Solar-Cell Plant due to Start Production on 19
April


On 19 April 2007, Odersun AG will be opening "Sun One", its
first solar-cell plant in Frankfurt (Oder). Wolfgang Tiefensee, Federal
Minister for Transport, Building and Urban Affairs and Government
Commissioner for the New Federal States, will be opening the "Sun One" plant
at Im Technologiepark 7 together with Brandenburg's Minister President,
Matthias Platzeck, at 3.30 pm in the presence of invited guests, before
taking a tour of the plant and learning about the production of thin film
solar modules.


Up to 60 employees will soon be working in four shifts to
produce around 6,000 kilometres of solar tapes annually at the "Sun One"
plant. This corresponds to the distance Brandenburg - New York. The thin film
solar modules on copper tape can be produced for use in cells of all sizes
and quality for façades and roofs, solar power stations and designer bags
with an integrated "power socket" without requiring special complicated and
expensive silicon technology.


Odersun AG's thin film solar technology has been developed
entirely in Frankfurt (Oder) over the past 14 years. "We are a real
Brandenburg success story", Ramin Lavae Mokhtari, CCE of Odersun AG boasts.
"With our patented, globally innovative technology and our flexible
production process we offer tailor-made, economic solutions."


Up to now, Odersun AG has invested 8.5 million euros in the
project. The main equity providers are Doughty Hanson Technology Ventures
from London and AT&M - Advanced Technology and Materials from Peking. The
state of Brandenburg is assisting Odersun AG with 3.5 million euros financial
aid.
