Signet Solar and BSC-Solar today announced that they are jointly developing a
1.8 MW solar power plant in the Czech Republic, located in the Blížkovice
region, South Moravia near the Austrian border. Signet Solar will supply single
junction silicon thin film solar photovoltaic modules totaling 1.8 MW for the
entire project. 

The installation of the solar farm is set to start by end of October, 2009.
BSC-Solar will construct the solar photovoltaic farm on five hectares of land
using an estimated 20,000 single junction silicon thin film modules. The solar
farm will be completed and connected to the grid by the end of the year 2009,
and will generate approximately 2.4 million kilowatt hours (Kwh) of electricity
