The issuer / publisher is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sinosol Group has signed an exclusive agreement with the project developer Plovdiv Solar Ltd. about the turn-key construction of solar parks on a 330 ha ground near Lyubimets. The project site is in south Bulgaria (approx. 41°50′N, 26°5′E) near the border to Turkey and Greece. The authorities and the utility company have already granted permissions for a capacity of 50 MWp in the first phase. In a second stage this will be extended to a total size of approx. 80 MWp. The coherent project site was divided into several smaller units with 5 MWp each, for the realization of the PV parks. The 5 MWp parks are sold separately to institutional investors. Start of construction for the first project will be in the middle of 2009. Sinosol Group is responsible for technical planning, the procurement of all components as well as the turn-key realization and operation for the entire project. Plovdiv Solar Ltd. owns the project site and obtained all necessary permissions for the construction and the feed-in of energy into the grid from the local authorities. Bulgaria offers very attractive conditions for solar power. There are 1.500 kilowatt-hours solar radiation per annum per square meter on average. For comparison: in Germany there are approx. 1.000 kilowatt-hours annually. As an EU-member Bulgaria has a renewable energy law. This supports the feed-in of solar energy into the grid, similar as in Germany. Installations larger than 5 kWp receive a feed-in tariff of 0,37 Euros/kWh. This compensation is guaranteed by law for 25 years. 'Currently the project is the biggest planned solar park in Bulgaria. We are glad to have found Sinosol Group as an experienced and reliable partner for the realization of the PV parks. Sinosol Group has a proven track record as a planner and turn-key partner and has realized comparable projects in Europe. This experience and references convinced us.' said Atanas Tarev, founder of Plovdiv Solar Ltd.. 'Bulgaria is an important new market for us which has an enormous growth potential and a high attractiveness for investors as a solar location. With Plovdiv Solar Ltd. we won a strong local partner, whose engagement and on-site competence guarantees for the success of the joint realization of the projects' adds Raphael Krause, member of the executive board of Sinosol AG. Pictures of the site and details about the project are available on the project internet page www.plovdiv-solar.com.
