Spain Based Tejados Industriales de Fotovoltaica to Deploy a Minimum of 10MW of
Signet`s Single Junction Silicon Thin Film Solar PV Modules in 2010
MOCHAU, Germany--(Business Wire)--
Germany based Signet Solar and Spanish Tejados Fotovoltaica de Industriales
(TIF) Group, a leading EPC company based in Benissa, Spain today announced that
the two companies have executed a definitive module supply agreement for Signet
to supply to TIF a minimum of 10MW of single junction silicon thin film modules
for shipments before the end of June 2010, and a continued module supply
relationship for the remainder of 2010 and in future years. 

"This agreement will serve as a strong foundation to the long standing
successful relationship between Signet Solar and TIF Group in Spain and Italy,"
said Gunter Ziegenbalg, Managing Director of Signet Solar GmbH, at the signing
ceremony. "TIF`s extensive market expertise and access to significant equity
investors combined with Signet`s aggressive approach in helping its customers
attain bankability through its debt and equity partners are a perfect fit." 

"I am very excited to have Signet as my strategic partner for solar PV
deployments," said Klaus Mueller, CEO of Tejados Fotovoltaica de Industriales
Group. "Signet`s consistent execution to its roadmap of releasing industry
leading PV efficiencies and power output for its single junction silicon thin
film PV modules has enabled Balance of System (BOS) cost advantages for my
company, which I expect will continue to enable higher IRR`s for our investors.
Based on Signet`s 10-15% higher output performance advantage in higher
insolation areas such as Italy and Spain, and the bankability of Signets
modules, now with over 10 debt financers, I am confident I have made the right
long term strategic partnership."
