Contracts

Berlin (euro adhoc) - Berlin, Germany, June 28, 2010. SOLON SE and
Saint-Gobain Building Distribution Deutschland GmbH (SGBDD) have
concluded a framework contract spanning several years to deliver
solar modules with a capacity of over 70 MW. The building materials
retailer is currently making a foray with its sales activities into
the growth segment of photovoltaics. Using its own `Solarkauf´ brand
SGBDD has developed a shop-in-shop concept that includes all PV
products necessary to install a solar power system. It offers solar
modules from SOLON in the segment for premium products. By the end of
the year `Solarkauf´ shops will have been integrated into a total of
45 branches. The defined assortment of photovoltaic products can also
be ordered nationwide at nearly 250 sites where the building
materials retailer is represented.

SGBDD places great value on trained professional staff in order to
provide customers with qualified advice. For this reason SOLON
provides employees working in this new business area with
comprehensive specialist training on issues related to photovoltaics
ultimately allowing staff to provide expert advice to professionals
such as craftsmen and even to end consumers. "This is a meeting of
two strong brands. Establishing a sales network with Saint-Gobain
Building Distribution puts us even closer to our customers in
Germany," comments Stefan Säuberlich, CEO of SOLON SE. "We have set
ambitious goals for ourselves in this relatively new market and we
look forward to having SOLON, one of the most experienced partners,
on our side," states Christian Rotthaus, Head of Marketing and
Purchasing at SGBDD.
