Suniva, FLS Energy Target Southeast U.S. With High-Performance U.S. Solar Farm

North Carolina Project Based on Suniva`s Solar Modules
NORCROSS, Ga.--(Business Wire)--
Suniva, Inc., a U.S. manufacturer of high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon
solar cells and modules, and FLS Energy, a North Carolina-based solar energy
generation company, today announced they will integrate Suniva`s high-power,
solar modules in a series of installations in the southeastern U.S. The first
project is a 550 kW solar farm that will occupy a former landfill;
implementation is underway in North Carolina. FLS Energy has a 20 year power
purchase agreement to sell the solar generated electricity to Progress Energy.

"We`re seeing unprecedented demand in the Southeast for solar," said Michael
Shore, president of FLS Energy. "In order to address the rapidly expanding
market here, FLS is committed to using the most advanced, efficient, and
cost-effective solar technology available. Working with Suniva will allow us to
address growing demand with technology that combines high-yield solar power with
high-quality U.S. manufacturing content."

Suniva`s UL and IEC certified, CEC listed solar modules contain more than 90%
U.S. content and offer a 25-year performance warranty, representing the highest
quality standards in today`s industry. The modules are powered by Suniva`s
high-efficiency ARTisun series solar cells and deliver peak power output up to
300watts, one of the highest in the industry. High power output is a key factor
in reducing installation and balance-of-system costs in all installations.

"Working with FLS Energy, Suniva will play a major role in driving growth in the
southeastern solar market," said John Baumstark, CEO of Suniva. "Our solar
modules Powered by Suniva cell technology will enable FLS`s installations to
deliver some of the highest levels of performance and reliability in the
industry."

A Suniva module will be on display at the Solar Power International conference
in Anaheim, CA Oct. 26 - 29 at Suniva booth #2010.
