Berlin, January 27, 2010 - The Supervisory Board of SOLON SE has
appointed Stefan Säuberlich as the new CEO. Thomas Krupke will
continue to be available to the company as a consultant. The company
is undergoing a far-reaching restructuring process in a market
environment that continues to change dynamically. In the view of the
Supervisory Board, the associated changes also necessitate a change
at the company's highest level of management.

Stefan Säuberlich, 46, previously served as CFO for the Wadan Yards
in Wismar and Warnemünde (formerly: AKER MTW Werft GmbH and AKER
Warnow Werft GmbH). Before his time at AKER, Säuberlich was a
management board member responsible for finance, financial
controlling, legal affairs and IT of Scandlines AG in Rostock. Prior
to that he was the head of equity holdings of DB Cargo AG where he
participated in numerous major transactions and mergers.

"I very much look forward to my new responsibilities. SOLON SE is a
young and modern company in an increasingly contested market which is
presently undergoing consolidation. SOLON's strong points are
innovative products, high quality standards and an innovative growth
strategy. The strategic management of the company in a dynamic market
environment is an exciting challenge for me," said Stefan Säuberlich.
A native of Berlin, Säuberlich is married and has three children.

"We are very pleased to have gained Stefan Säuberlich as a top
manager and an experienced restructurer for SOLON. With his skills
and experience, he will lead the company into a successful future in
the global market of renewable energies. SOLON is a company with a
strong and sustainable outlook in the promising market of
photovoltaics. The challenges currently confronting the company
result from the general economic crisis and fundamentally changed
market conditions. The necessary adjustment of the structures is
underway and we are convinced that Mr. Säuberlich as our new CEO will
bring this process to a successful conclusion," commented Dr. Karl
Werner, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of SOLON SE.

The Supervisory Board of SOLON SE has also decided to reduce the size
of the Management Board from five to four members. As a result, Anke
Hunziger, Chief Human Resources Officer, is also leaving the
Management Board.

"On behalf of the entire Supervisory Board of SOLON SE, I want to
express my gratitude to Mr. Krupke and Ms. Hunziger for their
outstanding commitment to the company and their successful work.
Under their leadership, SOLON has developed from being a producer of
modules for Germany alone into a photovoltaic system supplier which
is successfully active in all the world's key photovoltaic markets.

About SOLON SE: SOLON SE is one of the largest manufacturers of solar
modules in Europe as well as a supplier of solar system technology
for large-scale rooftop and greenfield installations. The SOLON Group
has subsidiaries in Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and the
U.S. and employs some 900 people worldwide. SOLON´s core business is
producing solar modules and photovoltaic systems along with planning
and constructing large rooftop installations and turnkey solar power
plants all over the world.
