Technipower Establishes Instant Solar(TM) Footprint in Europe

DANBURY, Conn., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Technipower Systems, Inc.
(TECZ.PK), formerly Solomon Technologies, Inc., announced today that it has
established an Instant Solar distributor in Europe by expanding its existing
distributor relationship with EnviroBoat Developments Ltd (Ambleside, UK).
Enviroboat has marketed Technipower's marine propulsion systems in Europe for
the past five years. As a leading integrator of solar-electric power for
commercial and recreational boats, EnviroBoat was recognized earlier this year
with the prestigious Royal Thames Mansura Trophy, awarded annually to
encourage hybrid marine propulsion.

As part of its Instant Solar promotional plan, EnviroBoat will demonstrate a
1.8kW Instant Solar system in a high visibility UK location with further
demonstrations planned across Europe. Europe plays a significant role in the
global distributed solar PV market, projected to grow to $60 billion per year
by 2013.

Dan Connors, President of Technipower's Energy Solutions group commented, "We
are moving quickly on our Instant Solar launch with the international markets
being an integral part of the plan. Using our existing international sales
channels is extremely helpful in quickly bringing this new product to market.
The synergy with EnviroBoat's existing renewable energy focus is strong and
the European market is acutely attuned to the need for clean, non-fossil fuel
energy sources. We look forward to shipping the first units internationally
this quarter."
Gordon Hall, Managing Director of EnviroBoat commented, "We are a long time
distributor of the Solomon Marine Drive product line and have converted a
number of boats to the Solomon system also incorporating solar power. We
approached Technipower because we saw the opportunity to leverage Instant
Solar with the marine product line; in particular there are shoreside berths
in the UK and elsewhere in Europe where it is difficult to access mains power
for battery recharging - and Instant Solar provides an affordable and simple
solution to this problem. Over the past couple of years we have also become
more involved in the provision of land-based solar panels, with both our
business experience and recent market studies indicating that the European
market is very ripe for this simple, but innovative solar power solution."
