Contracts
Berlin/ Tucson (USA), October 1, 2010:
Tucson-based SOLON Corporation, a subsidiary of SOLON SE and one of 
the largest crystalline silicon solar module manufacturers and 
provider of turnkey solar power plants in the U.S., announced a 
contract with Arizona Public Service (APS) to develop, design and 
construct an 18-megawatt (MW) solar power plant featuring SOLON´s 
turnkey system design, high-efficiency modules and single-axis 
trackers. APS, Arizona's largest and longest-serving electric 
utility, serves more than 1.1 million customers in the state.
Once installed this system will be one of the largest photovoltaic 
(PV) systems in the country, creating more than 550 local jobs during
construction, and ultimately capable of generating enough solar 
energy to power more than 4,500 homes. Located on 145 acres of land, 
the system is scheduled to start construction in the first quarter of
2011 and be completed in 2011. APS will own and operate the solar 
production facility.
As a complete PV system provider, SOLON is handling the Gila Bend, 
Arizona-based project for APS every step of the way—from site 
development and system design, to engineering, procurement and 
construction. The project features SOLON´s Velocity MW Solar System, 
which will provide 18 preconfigured, one-megawatt modular solar 
fields specifically designed to help utilities quickly scale to 
capacity. In total, SOLON will provide the APS system 108 robust 
SOLON-engineered Single Axis trackers, utilizing over 75,000 
high-efficiency, industrial solar modules.
"We are pleased to be teaming with SOLON to bring our customers more 
solar power. This new solar plant is part of APS´ company-wide 
mission of creating a sustainable energy future for Arizona," said 
Brad Albert, General Manager Resources Acquisition and Renewable 
Energy for APS.
The SOLON Velocity MW Solar System consists of standardized clusters,
which reduces the number of components with a proportional reduction 
in field installation labor. The preconfigured design also 
accelerates plant permitting and site development. When operated in 
conjunction with SOLON SCADA, a web-based system for remotely 
monitoring, controlling and reporting on a plant´s performance, 
Velocity MW offers the most compre-hensive solution for achieving 
efficient solar plant development and ongoing management.
"Through our Velocity MW system, SOLON is delivering a breakthrough 
design for fast, reliable solar energy that will allow us to quickly 
scale the APS project to capacity," said Dan Alcombright, Regional 
Vice President and General Manager of North America for SOLON. "We 
are proud to collaborate with APS on this milestone project - an 
effort that is reflective of SOLON´s dedication to producing the 
technology, superior solar solutions and jobs that advance the local 
Ariz. economy and the U.S. utility-scale solar energy market.
